This is an oldie but goldie: if LMS is run as a service, then it's
running in a different context than what you see. It wouldn't see a
drive Z: as this is only visible to your local session, but not to the
service.
You have to use the correct UNC, and you must make sure that UNC is
available to the service user - which in default settings is not the
case. Use a real user to run the service and make sure this user is
known to your NAS.
