No, you are right. Mapped drives are specific to the currently logged in user. That's why UNC paths are much better in this case as they don't require the user to be actively logged in to work.

However, UNC mappings should work regardless of whether the user is logged into the desktop. Perhaps someone else has a different experience with how to get to mapped drives.

That doesn't mean that the user account of the CF server will be able to see the drive mapping. By default, CF runs as SYSTEM, rather than as a specific user.
