ssh - Could not create directory 'c/.ssh'.

[Tim Allen]

Hi

I have happily used Cygwin ssh from "DOS" command prompt for many years 
but on upgrading to V1.7 get this error message. Further info:

OS: Vista

/etc/passwd line: 
tda:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:U-laptop1\tda,S-1-5-21-2414507100-3802266639-3593817948-1000:/home/tda:/bin/bash 


The interesting thing is that if I open up a second command prompt and 
run an arbitrary cygwin command (like "less filename"). ssh successfully 
finds /home/tda/.ssh (but only for so long as that second command is 
running).

I suspect this is something to do with the changes to mounts, but so far 
I've been unable to find a fix.

Thanks

Tim
