Sounds like you're right. However, I tried to do the same with ssh (based on Cygwin) and I got the same result. "list systemproperties" on the host machine (logged in as my user) gets different directories than the one remotely connected using Cygwin's ssh with the same user.
Where does VBoxManage get those directories from? Could it be based on an environment variable? Maybe a flag could change it?
