We've worked out this issue.

It appears that - at least in this case - the OLE DB connection being used
by SQL Server was in fact using the ODBC data source as defined on that Win
box.  The ODBC data source, however, was setup to connect to a specific
database (account) and SQL Server was attempting to override it with a path
to a different account.  That override apparently doesn't work so well.  So
we created a new ODBC connection that points to the right account and SQL
Server is now able to use that linked server to pull information from the
appropriate location.
