Can you SSH from the windows box? Try:

ssh localhost

...as that user, that way you can rule out any network issues.

Also, if /bin/switch is getting a permission denied, what are the
permissions on the home directory of the user you are trying to
connect as?

SSH is very picky about permissions, at least in the Unix world. Not
too sure about how it is handled in Windows.
