Accessing Network share from a windows service

I am attempting to access a network share from a windows service,
however I keep getting the "Could not find part of the path: '\\unc
\share'" error. I know if its run under LocalService it would have no
permission to access the network, however I'm running it as a local
user who has full access to the share. (I can verify this by putting
the same path that's in the error in Explorer and it works.) What am I
missing here? Please also note i'm using the UNC, not a mapped drive.
