I actually did a search before, and found the results so broad as to be useless, probably didn't try enough keyword combinations. Thanks for the paste.
In any case, the helpful link you pasted revealed two things:
One is that the network resource should be specified directly, rather than a mounted drive letter.
Secondly is that the issue may be the process user does not know how to log into the remote machine. I told the service to run as myself, and it wouldn't start.
In any case, I think the machine with the share I want to access needs to automatically authenticate the system user from my machine - and we're on a simple workgroup, not sure how that would work. (not too skilled with the deeper nuances of Windows Networking)
