Pointing to iTunes library on mapped NAS drive

Sorry if this question has been addressed before; I couldn't find anything in the forums.

 

I can't get the server to scan my music library.  I am using iTunes; the library (and the .xml file) are on a mapped NAS drive.  (I am running the server on a wired PC, *not* on the NAS.)  The problem is that when I try to browse to the NAS drive to specify the location of the library, media files, etc., the web control panel does not see the mapped drive. It shows drives C: through I: (even though only C: & D: exist), and no mapped L: drive.

 

If I just type in the filespec (using either 'L:\iTunes Library.xml or '\\NAS-01-25-A1\iTunes Library.xml'), it rejects it - no error message, just a beep, but then the scan finds zero files.  The strange thing is that sometimes it seems to work for while, but then I start a rescan and everything disappears.

 

 I have tried reinstalling the server software several times with no luck.  The control panel Diagnostics tab shows all 'OK'.  Following is from the control panel Information tab:
