Yup.  A known issue.  See the FAQ entry:

  Why can't my services access network shares?
  <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares>

Corinna had this to say about a similar issue with password authentication
(have you been pointed at this yet?):

  <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-08/msg01084.html>

For pub-key, the best solution is likely to be the upcoming subauth
functionality in 1.7.  See
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2006-07/msg00013.html> for
details.
