By default, the local SYSTEM security context has no permissions to mapped drives - not being a user, it doesn't recognize mappings, which are made within the context of a specific user account. I believe there's a way around this by creating the mapping persistently using a domain admin account if that's an option, but I'd recommend avoiding the use of drive mappings in favor of UNC paths. Of course, you'd still have to run the service as a specific user with rights to the network resources in question.
