Exactly what I experience too; my PC account has a password (stored somewhere
centrally), SSH requests authentication using this password (i.e. no 
.rhosts/.shosts/publickey). But still the drives are not available.

Err ... how do you mean? What Cygwin commmands are you running that show
they're still accessible? I mean I try cd'ing, or ls'ing and all report
no such directory.
