Thanks for the pointers, Jim. I tried changing the user account for the
service and place UNC shortcuts into my music directory and the result
is unfortunately the same.
Perhaps the Slim folks could provide some guidance here. This is a
topology that I'd very much like to use.

I just gave this a try in my Windows 2000 system and was unable to

I mapped the network directory to a drive letter and added a shortcut
for it to my music directory. When browsing the music folder through
the
SlimServer interface I am able to see the shortcut, but when I click
the
link the server treats it as a file rather than a directory and
displays
the Song Info page. With all other locally mounted directory shortcuts,
the server simply traverses into them.
It seems as though the treatment of network mounted drives by the
server
is somewhat different from locally mounted ones. Is there something
that
needs to be done to access music directories over the network?
Like I said, cross your fingers. I'm not convinced that SlimServer
always handles Windows paths correctly, especially to content on other
servers. I only have a single machine on my network currently, so
can't do any testing.
If you're running SlimServer on Windows as a service, it needs to run
under a user account. In any case, drive mappings are often difficult
to get working for a service. Try using UNC paths instead.
