Well, I'm not really sure what to look for either, but let's start
with the environment.  When you ssh into your XP32 machine and do

    set | grep USER

what do you see?  I see

  ALLUSERSPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\All Users'
  USER=dave
  USERDOMAIN='NT AUTHORITY'
  USERNAME=SYSTEM
  USERPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\dave'

So it appears XP thinks I"m the local system user.  From what I've
read, the local system user doesn't have permission to "net use"
anything.  A cygwin shell launched directly under XP32 reports:

  ALLUSERSPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\All Users'
  USER=dave
  USERDOMAIN=HYDRA-XP
  USERNAME=dave
  USERPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\dave'
