You have an invalid HOME environment variable.  //h to reference H:\ in
the next release will not work.  //h will reference a server named h in
the next release.  This invocation of //h could also cause problems with
rsync and these problems are the reason //h to reference H:\ is
deprecated and to be removed.  Change your HOME variable to
/cygdrive/h/scowles instead.  There are other ways to do this but you'll
need to search the archives if you need suggestions.
