   I don't see your machine, but disk mappings are set up when you login,   
   or because you run NET USE manually. I still don't think the service account   
   has any disks mapped.   
      
   What happens if you try:   
      
      exec xp_cmdshell 'DIR F:\'   
      
   assuming that you think F is a mapped disk?
