Running as administrator is horribly insecure.  If anyone manages to run
illicit code on your CF server, it will have complete access to everything,
rather than being sandboxed to only what a low-level user account has access
to.  Using the System account is better, but a separate account for only CF
is best.

If switching to administrator solved your problem, then your issue is
defintely with permissions.  I believe that the system account can only have
access to the local machine, but I could be way off base.  I'd try creating
a new user account specifically for CF, adding it to the domain, and giving
it access to the share in question.  Then set CF to run as that user and see
what happens.
