I don’t think you should use %H when that directory might contain spaces. It’s
likely to cause many problems.

In that case, I recommend
db_home: /cygdrive/c/Home/%U
I may be misunderstanding your desire. If you actually want Cygwin home
directories under c:\Documents and Settings, you can combine nsswitch.conf
settings with a custom mount point in fstab to avoid the need for spaces in
$HOME:
C:/Documents\040and\040Settings /home ntfs binary 0 0
Now you can say something like this in nsswitch.conf:
db_home: /home/%U
