Where's my home? (lost in my domain)

[Linda Walsh <cygwin at tlinx dot org>]

When I log in, I seem to be placed in 

/Users/law.Bliss> 

IF I type "cd" and hit return, then I'm in 

//Bliss/law

My home vars:

//Bliss/law> printenv|grep HOME
HOMEPATH=\
HOME=//Bliss/law
HOMEDRIVE=i:
HOMESHARE=\\BLISS\law

My /etc/password, for user "Bliss\law" (why "\" and not "/"?)
has //Bliss/law as a home dir as setup sometime in the past
when mkpasswd was working (ahh...those were the days... :-))...

I'm not sure why it wouldn't have specified my HOME as i:/ . (?)

But I don't see where it got /users/law.Bliss -- though it is
the temporary cache.  If windows/the login process was smart, then
I could see /users/law.Bliss being my HOME if the network server
wasn't available.  But it is, and I don't think windows is that
dynamic.

So how does what decide if my HOME gets set to //bliss/law, i:/ 
or [C:]/Users
