Mike, I bet it's an issue with Windows service permissions. By default, Cache runs as LocalSystem, which can't reach network printers or files. When you run a terminal session from the cache server's own cube, your process runs under the credentials you logged on to the Windows desktop with. But when you telnet to the server, or use a CSP process (etc) it's running under the credentials of the Cache service.
The most secure way to change this is to set Log On As credentials for the Cache service. Alternatively, use Cache Config Manager, Advanced, Input/Output. Enter a Network Server Username and Password. But beware, this is filed in the CPF file in barely-disguised form.
