Both of these fine gentlemen had it right:  I had completely missed
the Samba authentication problem.  I was able to use public-key
authentication by mounting my home directory with the public key
via "net use" (and supplying a password), prior to logging in via SSH.

Thanks very much to both of your for your swift (and patient) responses!
