Their respective home directory should be Samba mounted onto WinXP machine so that users can simply "cd" to their respective drive letter (onto which their home dir is mounted.) and work.

In order to do samba mount , we made a user map his home directory onto a windows drive as Z: and other users home dir onto drive Y:. Both got shared. And when both users logged in via ssh, they could see the shared drives ie. Z and Y.

File-system security is provided by Windows, not OpenSSH.  Since the details
of your installation and the specific permissions of the file-systems and
files in question aren't included above, I can only assume that you haven't
set these permissions to achieve your stated goals.  So I'd recommend
checking that and making changes at that level as needed.
