I've had this too.

Sometimes trying exactly the same statement again works.

Certainly it works *most* of the time if you have no spaces; German
characters or anything else "odd" (tut mir leid ..) in your path, so avoid
them.

So rather than relying on say a script to create these logical drives, I
would always set them up before I leave work and then have the script just
access Y: (if I do them myself I can try enough times until it works :) )
