No, that is the way ssh works: you are user "dan" trying to login as user "=
fshd"
to somewhere, so it uses (local) dan keys and (remote) fshd authorized_keys.

 That
means it can't execute the shell, did you change permissions? remember when=
 you
said you made /bin/bash 0700 (which doesn't allow execution by any other us=
er
different from the one that installed Cygwin)?
