I'm doing good just to be able to use Cygwin on my own workstation. Use
Samba? The establishment will never go for it. I'm a Unix dude in an NT
world right now. :-(

as far as i know the SYSTEM-Account cannot acces any network drives.
you should perhaps su to your userid - altough this should already be
done by cron itself (if the cronjobs are not scheduled to run as root).
