Its clear from the error messages you posted that psexec is not actually logging in to the remote system and creating a set of environment variables. Thats why psexec is running as the Default user and not the specified user. Your problem is not a virtualbox problem per se as I'm convinced if you could get psexec to login to the remote box correctly youd get the output you think you should. There is a command line option for psexec allowing for interactive use, "-i" but I don't know if that would fix the problem. Sounds to me like a question for the psexec list.
