The answer is in the link that Igor gave you. This FAQ perhaps should be split up into two questions, or at least be made more clear that there are two problems being addressed in the answer. The first part about user/system mounts is not your problem. Read the second part of the answer, and read the 'ntsec' part of the manual for the full explanation. When cron runs your job, it is running as SYSTEM impersonating the user account that owns the crontab. During impersonation, the user's password is not available and so non-public network shares are not available.
