External Images on Network Share Driving Me Mad

Hi,
Using RS 2000 SP2, I'm trying to access external images that a stored
on another computer via a network share. However, I get nothing but
red x's in my report. I understand that in order for this to work, I
need to setup the UnattendedExecutionAccount. Here's the rsconfig call
I've used:
rsconfig -e -u DOMAIN\user -p password -a windows
However, the pictures still don't show. I've logged on as the user in
question and confirmed the user can see the folder and open the
images. I've also double checked that I have the correct case for the
user and the password. The image source is in the format:
file://\\Computer\Data\Images\xxxx.jpg
I've also tried:
\\Computer\Data\Images\xxxx.jpg
If I copy the images to a local drive everything works.
Is there a problem using UNC paths? Maybe the developer install has
trouble accessing shared network paths? This is driving me nuts, can
anybody shed any light?
Thanks,

Unfortunately I was not able to resolve this. I suspect that it is a
permissions issue - and that it has something to do with the
UnattendedExecutionAccount not working the way I expect it to.
Regardless, I've given up and used an IIS virtual folder instead. At
least there I can control what credentials are used to access the
share.
Thanks,
