Which account do you have the service running under? If you have it running
under a normal user account there's a _possible_ chance it might work, but I
still doubt it. Bert is quite correct in insisting that mapped drives do not
apply to services, as they are per-session. In fact, try elevating a process
under Vista UAC and observe that the network drives that are mapped before
elevation don't even appear to the elevated process! So not only are they
per-user but in Vista and beyond is even more specific!
