bash env parse broken

You have an unmatched double quote.  The assignment to HOMEPATH
doesn't end until the first double quote after the `UNAME='. 
Backslashes quote double quotes inside double-quoted strings.  I don't
know why bash throws an exception on cygwin32, but on Unix the error
messages are correct.
