Scratch the "Assuming you have installed Cygwin under your own account"
thingy. The safe_path() function in OpenSSH checks the path of files
in your home dir only up to the home directory itself. However, that
depends on
$ getent passwd <your-account-name>
returning the correct home dir.
Personally I just use Cygwin's /home/corinna as home path and symlink
or bind mount the Windows stuff into it, e.g.
$ ln -s /proc/cygdrive/c/Users/corinna ~/winhome
