Afanasy with smb share like network disk

Greetings! Found a strange thing. If I try to open script (Nuke for example) from path, which starts from V:\\somefolder\somescript.nk it fails to render via afanasy with error like “Can’t find script file”. But if I change the path to \\myserver\share\somefolder\somescript.nk it runs fine.
Disk V: is smb share mounted like Network drive. Is it ok or some kind of bug?
Same with houdini...

Hi!
On Windows network drive mapping is a per-user procedure.
So, if you you have some v:\, some other user (or service) can not have.
You should make v:\ available for afrender (service, if you run it so), or not use drive letters at all.

ps
Sometimes we use Windows OS and drive letters with Afanasy too.
We put drive mapping commands in a cmd script that setup and launch our afrender.

Thanks for the answer! I did same thing with mappings and it works.
I notices user problem, so i launched afrender from the same user as logon user. But may be it's connected with some graphical windows session... Something like in linux. GUI session and simple ssh session is different.
Ok, i will just keep path rewrite in config for that thing.
