Alfred,


Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be it.  There are no network paths in either:
a) the user whom I am connect via ssh as
b) the environment in which the ssh / cron services run (ie. cron_server, sshd_server)

I'm thinking its something about the user and/or context under which those services 
run.  Should it matter if those services are running as domain users?  Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Steve
