I have resolved both problems. The first is strange and might be a
bug. The problem was that after adding a new env var in Windows it
wasn't getting added to my PATH in Cygwin when I ssh'ed in. The only
way I could get the var added in was by rebooting my machine. Does the
sshd process cache my Windows env vars when it starts? That's all I
can come up with because I never had a problem when I would just start
a session with cygwin.bat.
The second problem with $HOME was just because I made a stupid mistake
and added a %HOME% in Windows.
