Problems with net use from ssh logged on user vs cygwin user onconsole

[Richard Sharpe <rsharpe at richardsharpe dot com>]

Hi,

In trying to figure out my problems with Net Use via ssh, I noticed the 
following.

If I log on to my Win2K system with ssh, I can do net use blah blah and I 
get a drive that I can use and so forth.

However, if I look at what drives are mapped from a cygwin window on the 
console, these drives show up as unavailable, and when I try to use them, 
as in:

  dir j:

I get the following error message:

dir: j\:: no such file or directory

which suggests that the ssh logged on process is actually adding a literal 
: in the device name or something.

Has anyone seen this? Does anyone know a work around? Using some single 
quotes around strings did not help.
 
Regards
