Any application that is running as a service in NT or W2K requires that all
references to mapped network drives include the complete UNC path, including
sharename. It will not work with a mapped drive letter. I've run up against this
security restriction several times with scheduled applications under both NT and
W2K; it can create some puzzling problems.

I just went thru a similar problem. When using the Queue to transfer files
from a remote server,
The files would always download to the WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory when it was
supposed to go
to a network drive. When I did the run task now, the files transferred to
the correct location. When
I let the queue work on its own, the files would always go to the System32
directory.
I had gone into the control panel-services and changed the queue to run as a
user instead of the
system account, but this seemed to have no effect. After spending a lot of
time trying to get the
queue utility to work without success, I tried using the ftpscript command
line options in NT Scheduler
which works fine consistently.
I believe that this problem may be specific to Windows NT and involves some
security rights.
