Backup to a network share

Hi

I have come up against a seemingly difficult problem

Running Bacula 15.0.2 on a Redhat 9 clone, backing up windows 
machines(via winows agents) to a network share(well, trying to), so I 
want to  back up from the windows machines via the FD and SD agents 
directly to Big Share(which is on another server)

The problem is it does not work, i have a FD and SD agent on the winows 
machines, if i backup to a local folder it works(on the window machines 
local disk), i.e Archive Device=<local folder> in device def i 
bacula-sd.conf

But if i set Archive device=<net work share> or Archive device=<mapped 
drive> it does not work, and i get

[SE0017]Unable to Stat device .... at z: : Err=No error

[SW0106]Device .... Requested by DIR could not be opened or does not exist


What I have done:

mapped net workshare a drive, fail

used mklink /d to make a symlink to the newowrkshare, fail

tried even running the SD-service under domain admins (just in case it 
is a case of permissions), fail

I am pretty sure this should be possible, right?? But can't find any 
thing in the documentation. Anyone who has tried it and knows how to, or 
has some advice???
