Well,
I'm guessing since no one answered, that no one knows the answer to my
question. I was able to fix my problem by eliminating the -h \\path and
just including the path with the filename like:

-i \\server\path\driver.inf

If this is not the way MS intended this to work then they should change the
documentation or correct the script itself, but as of right now the
documentation does not support the actual functionality of the script.

I hope that this information is useful to someone else out there as well.
