Indeed Jason has a good point.

IIRC, VBox shares are normally privileged, so if in one case the logged in user has more rights, 
that could explain the difference.  I do see that 'id' reports somewhat different things in the two 
cases, though I am not enough of an expert on Windows users and their permissions to point to the 
"smoking gun" that might cause the difference.
