Erik's advice on writing to root of working dir will solve this

On this front I should point out that the reason your attempt to use a
share failed is because when you jobs run they run as a user with
almost no privileges - certainly it has no domain membership so any
attempt to access anything on the network will fail unless you provide
the credentials yourself

there are suggestions on this here:

note that the latest 6.7 series (and therefore most likely 6.8) will
include the run as submitting user infrastructure as part of the
standard package for windows.
