I'm not sure whether or not this is relevant but I found a HOME directory anomaly in 1.1.1 that did not exist in 1.1.0 and earlier. This may be related to your problem or may be not... Given that I mount H: as /home/jt, if I set HOME=H:\ via the control panel, then within Cygwin (eg, bash) my HOME becomes /home/jt/ (note the extra slash at the end). If I now set HOME=H: (note no backslash), then within Cygwin my HOME becomes /home/jt. In your case since HOME is /, may be due to the above problem you are getting an extra slash too. Hence, your HOME within Cygwin is becoming //. The // notation is interpreted by Cygwin as a network share (or a drive letter). So for example, when openssh tries to access //.ssh, it can't find a share called ".ssh" and fails. Hope the above helps and sorry if it is just a distraction to the real problem.
