It means that the home directory that is configured (in Cygwin) for your user 
account should exist. ssh will create the ".ssh" directory there - if it is 
able to do so.

mkdir /home/_Kai_
for example?

Or you could change the entry for user _Kai_ in /etc/passwd so that the home 
directory points to something that already exists.
