changing home directory

Hi,
I want to change my /home directory.
My windows HOME variable points to d: which is my user directory on the PC.
Currently, /home points to my home directory. But because of some
issues with unison, I would like to change it
to /home/977315
I tried:
> mkdir /home/977315
> vi /etc/fstab ... to point d: to /home/977315 (d: is my home directory)
> vi /etc/passwd to make my login directory /home/977315
But when I open a new bash window, `cd ~' will still put me into
/home, and mount's output still points d: to /home.
If I remove that windows variable HOME, my cygwin home directory
becomes /home/mv. But the mount point d: is still pointing to /home,
disregarding the /etc/fstab setting
What else should I do?
Thank you,
Mirko
