So if  Home is E:\ when you do the swarm install, that's where
it puts the bash setup files, but, as I mentioned in the last
note, I recall Marcus saying that on NT the variables it looks
for are HOMEPATH and HOMEDRIVE.  Did you look at this part of
the FAQ?

I feel ABSOLUTELY sure this is the cause of your problem. You
have a mixture oc cygwin and swarm mounts.  Swarm goes  for its
stuff, and the mounts send it off to E:\cygwin=lib and
E:\cygwin.  The swarm ones don't look quite right either,
perhaps they are remnants of Swarm-1.x or something.  Look at
the umount command, and then remount the ones you need.

Not really normal as long as the mount has that monkey business
in it.
