There are two problems with this.
1) The CGIs usualy run under a local account (IUSR_machinename if you
use IIS). Local accounts do not have access to remote drives.
2) Drive mapping is per-user-session. The fact that you map a drive
while logged in as yourself doesn't mean the services that run under
a different account will see it.
You may either use
subst
instead of
net use
or use the \\servername\share\... syntax.
In either case writing the data to a remote location is going to
create more problems than it's worth. You'd better write it somewhere
localy and then copy them somewhere with a background process
(service).
