ssh-add fails to find .ssh directory/key when home directory mounted via fstab

["" <cygwin at kosowsky dot org>]

When I use an fstab.d file to mount my home directory at an
alternative point, everything seems to work (so far) except for
ssh-add that returns with exit code 2 (error) seemingly because it
can't find the .ssh folder and associated key.

Note that the perms of the .ssh folder and contained keys are 700 and
600 respectively.

Note ssh-add  works fine when my home directory is in the normal /home/<myname>>
place.

Note my fstab.d file entry looks like:
     C:/Users/<myname>/Desktop/data/<myname> /home/<myname> ntfs binary 0 0

Is ssh-add failing because of a security issue? because it can't find
the mounted home directory .ssh file?
