cron and user context


When cron reads a users crontab, does it do something similar to: "su
username"?

If cron does execute programs as the owner of each crontab, then should I be
able to see all of the "shares" that are available to that user?  

I have a share mapped to drive "H" but the shell scripts I am running via
cron keep getting "access is denied" messages when I try to output to my "H"
drive.  

Has anyone run into this situation before?

Thanks,
jaime
