So what I am doing now is (in .bashrc)
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/mount.exe '<nfs-path>' k:
mount k: /home/user1

which seems to work.

tried it, but didn't work:
$ passwd -R
This functionality stores a password in the registry for usage by services
which need to change the user context and require network access. Typical
applications are interactive remote logons using sshd, cron task, etc.
This password will always tried first when any privileged application is
about to switch the user context.

Note that storing even obfuscated passwords in the registry is not overly
secure.  Use this feature only if the machine is adequately locked down.
Don't use this feature if you don't need network access within a remote
session.

You can delete the stored password by specifying an empty password.

Enter your current password:
Re-enter your current password:
Storing password failed: Function not implemented

here my cygwin version:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 ossvmw7u1 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 x86_64 Cygwin

Thanks for the hints I now have a working solution. Not nice, but it 
seems to work.

Best regards

Dominik
