Changing default shell in mingw msys shell

I'm using:
MINGW32_NT-5.1 1.0.16(0.48/3/2) 2010-09-29 00:07 i686 Msys
on OSX 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard)
And tried to change the default shell from sh to bash.

This didn't seem to work for me:

But this did:

I actually just put a .profile in my homedir with these contents:
#!/bin/sh.exe
/bin/bash
