You can't. When using sshd under inetd (WHICH IS NOT RECOMMENDED)
sshd starts up under the same user account as inetd, typically
the "LocalSystem" account. This LocalSystem account doesn't have
access to network drives. Even if that would be possible you
would have to give your password to be able to change the user
context.

I suggest starting sshd under your own account. Don't use inetd
for that. Read /usr/doc/openssh-2.5.2p2.README
