Richard,

AFAIK, "net use" requires interaction with the desktop.  If the "Allow
service to interact with the desktop" box is unchecked for your sshd
service, "net use" will not succeed.

Does the event log contain any messages?

Try allowing the interaction with the desktop for the sshd service and
running the command again.  Let the list know if it works.

P.S. I know you said that you know about the backslashes, but it's kinda
irresistible...  Single quotes? ;-)
