A missing password is likely your problem, since that's at the heart of

a service as the user you'll log in as is really just a workaround.
I was thinking more of:

Using the passwd -R bit did not change the behavior. I still am unable
to access the network share when logging in via SSH, but it works just
fine when starting cygwin locally.
I will note that the network share (CIFS) uses a different
username/password than my local user/password on the windows box (That,
unfortunately, is not under my control).
However, I set up the share using net use \\IP\share /savecreds, and that
does mount the drive to Windows at least every time without prompting,
and Cygwin locally is able to use it. It is only an issue with the SSH
connection.
