Does the service CF is running as have permissions to all those remote locations (by default, it won't)?  Also, I'm not sure how mapped drives work... are they global to the file system, or are they part of the Windows shell?  CF won't have the same environment as your own user, after all.  You might wanna try using UNC paths instead.
