OPENSSH passwordless login getting "system error 59" on "net use" cmd with samba

I am able to login as myself without passwordless login and get access to my 
network shares.  However, I am not able to login as myself using 
PASSWORDLESS login via public keys and have access to the network shares.  I 
need to execute ssh login in a batch script so I need  passwordless login to 
work and I need to have access to the network shares when I login.    Is 
there some other way to get access to network shares via passwordless login 
without changing the user who runs the sshd service and opening the security 
hole?

Thanks for your input,
Terry
