In an offlist response, I was asked whether or not I was not using
password authentication. Indeed I wasn't, relying instead on RSAKEY
with ssh-agent for passwordless connections. This is apparently a known
bug with Cygwin's SSH: you can access the remote host but not shares
connected to it. Falling back on password auth avoids this issue,
though it reduces the convenience factor.
Thanks.
