Did you at least try chainging your ${HOME} to somewhere normal and 
seeing what happens?  Perhaps SkyDrive has some feature that makes 
Cygwin crazy.  For example, your cygwin could have inotify listeners on 
${HOME} which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's 
"refresh the pretty icons" mechanism which could be tickling the inotify 
listeners which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's 
"refresh the pretty icons" mechanism which could be tickling the inotify 
listeners which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's

listeners...
