Hello Michael - Just a quick stab in the dark here, but in your command
def above, you have a space character after your g: - is that correct,
or could it be causing your issue?

Also, are your drives mapped as persistent, as I'm not positive the user
running the script would see them either way if not "logged on
interactively". 

Can you use UNC pathing instead? Ie \\machine\share$ ? That should work
if the user has rights, and you won't have to deal with the mapped drive
issue(s) .

HTH,

jamie
