Membership Roles problem w database

Im trying to help a friend who is attempting to deploy an asp.net 2.0
app.  She wants to use the membership/role system, and the necessary
database and its tables, etc, exist in the sql server 2000 instance
(which is on a seperate server).  When she brings up the asp.net admin
app from within vs.net, she can do the database connection test to her
membership/role database and her application's database.  However, if
she clicks on the Security tab, she gets:
"The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: An error
occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallCommon.sql'. The
SQL error number is 5110 and the SqlException message is: The file
"Z:\DEVELOP\APP_DATA\ASPNETDB_TMP.MDF" is on a network path that is not
supported for database files. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names
listed could not be created. Check related errors. Creating the
ASPNETDB_f99997c331604d0a92dfe86aca285b0e database...".
Im at somewhat of a loss, as I role my own role systems, but a few
things jump out: the database exists, but the message says the error is
in their creation.  But even if she were doing the sql server 2005 thing
where one puts the mdf file in the \App_Code, the path is not correct,
its to here development, not prod (they are on the same machine, so the
drive letter is correct).
In review:
1. asp.net 2.0
2. sql server 2000 on seperate machine
3. role/memberships database/table set up, and is recognized in the web
admin app under Providers
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark
