You haven't really explained what it does or doesn't do.

A few suggestions:

Double backslashes are good. Full pathnames are good.

Your W: drive - is it a local disk or filesystem? High letters like this are
often network shares - if so it won't work since the user running the
NetWorker service won't be logged in with a mapped drive.

What is in the savepnpc.log file on the client? (This file will be in
...Program Files\nsr\logs) This might give you clues about what is happening.

Finally, the old chestnut - check for a leftover <GROUP>.tmp file in
...\nsr\tmp. This may need removing to make pre and post commands work. More
info in the FAQ.

HTH.
