Google for "PHP Network Drive" and see if others have the same problem. For all I know, the dang thing is just broken. It is Windows, after all. :-)
I had a similar problem with a mysqldump file that I was trying to copy over, via a script, to a networked drive. The networked drive was on a Novell share, and I could see it and copy just fine using windows explorer but nothing I did ever allowed me to copy via the script. I even had Apache installed as a service on the windows box and had all permissions as open as possible on all directories just to test. I finally gave up and did it from a Linux server using ncpfs to mount the Novell drive. FWIT, David
