The problem has something to do with installing a 1.5 version
over a 1.3 version, I guess.

I've now reinstalled Cygwin 1.5.5 completely, where by the
first invocation of bash runs some scripts. With this 
installation it works with the HOME variable set to
/home/<username>, i.e. inside the cygwin tree.

Cheers,
Jörg
