VirtualBox shared folders access fails in headless mode

Description

I'm using a VBOx VM (Windows 7 Embedded Guest, Windows 7 Host) that attempts to access files on a shared folder.

When running in GUI mode everything works fine. When running in headless mode the shared folders are unenviable ( I get "The network path was not found")

the following also doesn't help:

  • setting the machine for autologin mode
  • using vboxmanage to add a shared folder

Some more details:

  • the simplest method to verify this error is by telneting to the VM and issuing a dir command
  • I'm working with UNC paths - so it's not a mount (net use) issue
  • after connecting to the VM using VRDE the folders become visible, and stay visible after VRDE client termination (but reappear after boot)
  • vboxcontrol sharedfolders list does show the expected list of share folders

Please attach the VBox.log file from that VM.

added VBox.log

the first attempt (that failed) to access the shared folder was done at about 1:30 after the machine booted and logged on. the attempt was to initiate a telnet connection, and issue a dir command.

at about 3:50 an RDP connection was initiated. I browsed to the shared folder using windows explorer. later I retried to access the shared folder using telnet, this time the dir command worked as expected.
