When I run cygwin.bat I'm not put into my home directory but rather in /usr/bin.
I just created /proc (this was also missing)manually to see if it would be populated and it seems to work.
Even though having /dev is optional isn't the setup program supposed to create this and proc?

Did running
mkpasswd > /etc/passwd mkgroup > /etc/group
help? Please do this and then post your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files and the output of 'id'. I suspect this is the cause of your HOME and .bash* troubles.
Directories such as /dev are optional. Just use 'mkdir /dev'.
