I know this is a consistent issue with cygwin. There really needs to be a
good solution.
$ cat cup
#!/bin/bash
cd "$USERPROFILE"
pwd
$ ./cup
/Documents and Settings/me

OK from the system prompt, but I've never found a way to quote this in a
shell script. So I make symlinks to $HOME/my/docs/, my/pics/, my/mus to
avoid those infernal microsoft spaces.
Did you try the script I included above? There's no magic here.
