Again, this has nothing to do with cygwin. Try starting cmd.exe from
ssh session and type 'dir \\scooby\bfriesen' there. You'll get the
same "Permission denied" error.

It's a windows feature. If you run some program in the separate login
session, and want to use some network resource on remote host, you
should login to that host with appropriate credentials. On windows
nt, 2000 and xp it can be done, for instance, from cmd.exe's command
line using "net use" windows command. After successful login you
should be able to read \\scooby\bfriesen share from windows programs
and, consequentially, from cygwin programs too.
