It's all to do with permissions. By default, a windows service runs under a local system account that doesn't have the required privileges. You need to edit the services properties and change the Log On account to a user who has access to the network (administrator would do it, but may not be the most secure choice).

The problem was related to starting SS as a service under win2k (don't ask me about XP). IIRC a service can't access another HDD across a network for security reasons. There was some trick required, and I'm sure I found it in the documentation somewhere, that enabled SS to start in a way that would allow it to access the other HDD. Anyway, once the trick was applied, the problem was cured. I know, this is a not very useful response, completely lacking in accurate info, but there is a simple cure. I just don't remember what it is. There, now I'm starting to ramble. Getting old sucks.
