RE: ssh - no access to /dev/st0


The issue is that during command line execution of a tar command, sshd
has not set the environment properly, namely the mount points are not
there, so /dev/st0 does not exist, and the PATH variable does not point
to the correct cygwin files either.

What might be causing this.

It works fine with an interactive ssh session (providing auto logon is
not set up).

Sure that you're running the same tar?  I'm running my Cygwin stuff in
an
ssh session all the time and I have no problem accessing /dev/st0.
