The more testing I do, I think you may be right..I was able to get it to work under a local admin account, and it worked under debug mode (which would also have been running as this user). I'm a bit surprised though - I was under the assumption that LocalSystem had rights to access the network? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
