Well, I apologize for being dense, but I'm not getting it. I read the document you link to quite a few times before posting my query.
I initially tried running the service under my own account (as suggested in the faq) with my username & password entered at prompts from cron-config. No luck. Then I added the mount point to the system fstab and tried again. No luck. Then I changed cron to run as system rather than user, just to see. Still no luck. I also tried adding my username & password to the registry using passwd -R. I seem to be missing some elementary step to mount network shares, but I haven't found it anywhere in a week's worth of googling. Any further hints would be appreciated.
