I don’t think you should use %H when that directory might contain spaces.  It’s likely to cause many problems.

In that case, I recommend

    db_home: /cygdrive/c/Home/%U

I may be misunderstanding your desire.  If you actually want Cygwin home directories under c:\Documents and Settings, you can combine nsswitch.conf settings with a custom mount point in fstab to avoid the need for spaces in $HOME:

    C:/Documents\040and\040Settings /home ntfs binary 0 0

Now you can say something like this in nsswitch.conf:

    db_home: /home/%U
