My guess is that this occurs because when you map a drive letter in 
Windows, that drive letter is only visible to the logged-in user. That 
is unlike drive letters for physical drives - those are visible to 
everybody.

So when two or three users are logged in at the same time, one may see 
the T: drive mapped to the NAS, another may see it mapped to some 
completely different place, and the third one may not have it mapped at all.

Thus, the bacula FD itself must explicitly map the drive; it's not 
enough to just log on as administrator and map it.
