That was what I suspected.  Even if you aren't sharing anything the SMB
server still is listening on the interface.  It looks like ssh only
binds to localhost and not 0.0.0.0 which would fail.

But I guess that doesn't matter, since the net use succeeds and you can
access Z: through explorer.  What happens if you try mounting Z:/
instead of using /cygdrive?

I've done SMB-over-ssh in the past but I used PPTP, not this method (for
the binding reasons already mentioned.)  I abandoned it though because
over a broadband connection it was untolerably slow.
