What about using a network folder, e.g. a UNC path? Were you able to get such a thing working ever?
I've heard of people using network folders; I'm not sure I've personally tried a UNC path. Keep in mind that command-line quoting/escaping can foul up your backslashes, though, so I would suggest trying using '/' in place of '\' in your command line. That is, '//server/share' instead of '\\server\share'.

And of course, they're harder to get right. :)
