Cygwin mounted drive not accessible from remote machine

1

I have a mounted share drive l: on a Windows 7 64 bit machine I will call box1. In Cygwin on box1, I type mount and the mounted drive shows up correctly as L: on /cygdrive/l type ntfs (binary).
When I do cd l: it correctly changes directory to the mounted drive and I can see files (ls) etc...

I have another Windows 7 64 bit machine I will call box2. In Putty on box2 I can successfully login to box1 through SSH with box1's credentials. When I type mount, the mounted drive in question shows up as L: on /cygdrive/l type unknown (binary). Note the unknown.

When I try to cd l:, I get:

No such file or directory

So from box2 in Putty I can see the drive is mounted on box1, but I can't access the drive or files. On box1, in Cygwin everything looks great, mounted as type NTFS and can see the files etc.

How can I see these files from the remote machine?
