One thing to remember is that a mapped drive is based on the logged in user. Since CF Server is not necessary logged in this poses an issue. What you probably want to do is use UNC pathing to a share. This is essentially a mapped drive but no drive letter. The other issue is security to that share. You will have to make sure that CF can access the share. The account that the CF service is running as is the same credentials used to access the share.
