    This should work and you should be using a UNC path, remember that
mapped drive letters only exist in the "user" context and when you log out
they aren't accessible, but UNCs will be.  You will have to make sure you
change the credentials for NBU in services to use a domain or valid user
that is allowed to connect to the SAMBA share if you have security set at
the user level.  I think only one of the services needs this change from
using LocalSystem to a user account, probably device manager or the client
service, can someone else clarify.
