A missing password is likely your problem, since that's at the heart of
your original problem really. But I actually wasn't thinking of this
option
as the solution to your problem when I pointed you at the FAQ. Running
a service as the user you'll log in as is really just a workaround.
I was thinking more of:

<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd3>

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.

Well, that's a completely different thing then. You need Windows to authenticate that share as the other user then. I think you're stuck with "net use" option of the FAQ. You can either invoke it each time you log in via ssh, put it in your favorite rc file, or have a separate script to do it (which you'd invoke each time).
