I have one real (c:) and three virtual (d:, e:, f:) partitions on my
Windows 10 box

The virtual partitions are created at login by Windows tasks using the
'subst' command.

With an empty /etc/fstab, at first this all appears to work fine:

  > mount
  C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
  C:/C64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
  C:/C64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
  C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
  D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
  E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
  F: on /cygdrive/f type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

  > mount -m
  none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

  > ls /cygdrive
  c/  d/  e/  f/

  > ls /cygdrive/f | wc -l
  31

But if I come in to this machine via ssh (public key or password), the
virtual partitions are lost:

  > mount

  C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
  C:/C64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
  C:/C64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
  C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

  > ls /cygdrive
  c/

The problem seems to arise because the subst commands aren't being run:

  > cmd /c subst
  [nothing]

although they are Triggered by "At log on of [me]".  Checking the Task
Scheduler indeed shows them run at my original Windows login, but not
when I ssh in...

It appears that ssh login is not a Windows login -- what am I missing?
