If E: is a network drive then it will not work. SYSTEM has no
permissions outside the CVSNT server PC and the drive mappings are not
visible to SYSTEM either.

SYSTEM is the operating system on the PC running CVSNT. When services
run they are executed by this account and it can only handle local
resources on the PC itself. SYSTEM is *not* part of the Everyone
group.

You have not installed pserver then. That is a separate dll.

Everyone does not include SYSTEM. You must give explicit permissions
to SYSTEM. And you cannot do this on network drives...
