ssh finds previous home directory

[Poor Yorick]

In control panel I changed my $HOME environment variable tonight to <new home directory>, fired up cygwin, and typed ssh <user>@<host>.  I received this error:

Could not create directory '<previous home directory>/.ssh'.

Could someone please explain?
