The command you give will be sent to the remote shell and re-parsed. So,
you have to escape the backslashes twice.
Or, you could just put single quotes around the path to the share.
Note that this does not guarantee that you'd be able to access the share,
only that the remote end will see the right share name. See
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.shares> for details.
