The SID is made up from parts that include a domain id and a user id. 
The NTFS partition files will have SIDs appropriate for the domain it 
belongs to. Physically sharing with a user who is not part of that 
domain would mean the user's computer had a different base SID.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Identifier for a good 
discussion on the issue.
