Msys cd .. command takes me to home directory instead of parent

Question

I'm using Msys on Windows 7 with what I believe to be a Bash shell.

I want to navigate the following directory structure:

Drive (M:)
+--- Coding
   +--- CPP
      +--- projects
      +--- other_folder_1
      +--- other_folder_2

My fstab file contains the following line:

M:/Coding/CPP/projects/ /home/Adrian/

... which makes the projects folder my starting directory when opening the shell.

Unfortunately when I try to cd .. out of projects, I end up in /home instead of CPP.

I imagine this might be related to what I did in the fstab file. Is there any way for me to retain the projects folder as my starting directory while being able to cd into its parent directories?
