docker mount on windows, directory is empty

Question

Running a simple docker test.

docker run --rm -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls -al /data

Results in the following output.

total 4
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            40 Oct 19 09:02 .
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4096 Oct 19 09:05 ..

the directory is empty, in windows it contains the user(s).

edit

Further to this, looking at the docker log file, I see this:

seems there is a samba credentials issue? How do I fix the credentials?

VPN ISSUE

The problem occurs when my CISCO VPN is connected. Volumes will not work when the VPN is connected. I have tried the suggestions here, but no dice!
