I solved the problem.  

My orignal cygwin.bat file contained:
SET HOME=c:\cygwin\home
My profile conatined:
set HOME=\home\$USER

This used to work just fine in bash-2.  
Doesn't work in bash-3.

I changed it to this in cygwin.bat and removed the set in profile.
SET HOME=

Now everything works as it gets it from etc/passwd. 

so nevermind..   :-)
