Simplest of scripts driving me crazy!

Is there a problem with Scripting dealing with files on a Network Share? If I used either UNC or Mapped Drive, it can never see that the file exists or copy it.

If you do the same with the local C Drive there is no issue. The below will report that the folder exists, but it can never see the file. (Yes it is in the folder)

I first get the filename from the string of a Homeseer device (It is valid)

SourceFile = hs.DeviceString (2665)
DestFile = "\\192.168.1.99\folderB\file.txt"

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

if FSO.Folderexists("\\192.168.1.99\folderA") then
hs.writeLogEx "Info", "Folder Exists", "#000080"
end if

If FSO.FileExists(SourceFile) Then
hs.writeLogEx "Info", "File Exists", "#000080"
FSO.CopyFile SourceFile, DestFile
end if

I simply want to copy a file which is on a network share using an event!! HELP.

What is the form of the contents of SourceFile? Does it include the complete path? Are you changing directory to point to folderA?

I believe the issue may be the way hs.writeLogEx is being used.

What user account is HS running under? And, is HS running as a service or just a stand alone app?
Different user accounts will have different UNCs mapped. For example, if I log in as an administrator and map z: to \\myserver\foo it will work great for Administrator. But if I log in as Joe or a service is running as localsystem then it won't see a z: since it was mapped using a different user account.
