Hi shasca,
I am researching that problem. I think that it is impossible at present.
But if A solution is found, it will be great.

Hi, how to mount your local drive,
First, open the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Remote Desktop Connection). Then click on the Options button and go to the Local Resources tab. The bottom section of the tab is titled Local Devices, and there you will see a check box labeled Disk drives. Checking this box will automagically connect all disk drives on you local machine to the remote machine when you open the RDC.
When you get logged into the remote box, open My Computer and you'll see that all the drives (hard drives, floppy drives, CD/DVD ROM drives, and even mapped drives) will show up as mapped disk drives. Sweet!
Go ahead and open one of the newly mapped drives and transfer files to your heart's content. Now, how easy and painless was that!
From the Hope This Helps Department... enjoy.

Good luck
