Access local drive over remote desktop

Hi, I'm wanting to copy a remote file to my local drive, using the redirection supplied by Microsoft Remote Desktop.

This is how the drive appears in 'net':

	C:\Users\cbg.tom>net use
	New connections will be remembered.


	Status       Local     Remote                    Network

	-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 	                      \\TSCLIENT\HealthStat     Microsoft Terminal Services
	The command completed successfully.


I can copy files using Windows Explorer, but can't access the drive from the cygwin command line:

	[2466 CBGSAS04:/cygdrive/e/Programs/autoexecs]$ cp Standard.sas //TSCLIENT/HealthStat
	cp: accessing `//TSCLIENT/HealthStat': Bad address
	[2467 CBGSAS04:/cygdrive/e/Programs/autoexecs]$ cp Standard.sas //cygdrive/TSCLIENT/HealthStat
	cp: cannot create regular file `//cygdrive/TSCLIENT/HealthStat': No such file or directory


The first form used to work, it may have been the new version of Microsoft Remote Desktop which broke it.  FWIW the drive doesn't appear under //

I realise I could map a drive letter, etc., but would rather get the built-in support working again.

CYGWIN_NT-6.3

Cheers
