Setting up git & ssh, git can't find repo

Hi,
I’m trying to configure my Drobo 5N to use ssh for the git repo (my work laptop has security policies that prohibit mounting unsecured shared directories).

I have set up SSH, using public key authentication. I’m able to SSH to the Drobo, list the Git repo contents, but when I issue the git clone command I get the error “sh: git-upload-pack: not found”

Here’s a screen capture of my Cygwin bash session:
Jim@padfoot ~/testgit
ssh jim@192.168.199.17 Enter passphrase for key '/cygdrive/c/Users/Jim/.ssh/id_rsa.ollivander': irma-pince:~ ls /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/Public/Git/

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

My guess is that the current directory for the git clone command is somehow different from the ssh command. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this, or suggestions to resolve it? Let me know any other information you need!

TIA
