ssh shell's mount table differs from normal shell's

[Matt Swift <swift@alum.mit.edu>]

I do not understand why the Cygwin mount table should be different in
the bash shell that I launch with cygwin.bat or rxvt.exe than the
mount table I get when I ssh to the host with the same user.  The
shell transcript below illustrates the difference.  The Windows drives
H: and S:, which are missing from the mount table in the ssh shell,
happen to be remote resources, while the other lettered mounts are
physical drives.  But if that were the pattern, the /usr/local/share
mount would also be absent in the ssh shell.
