MSBackup/NTBackup to mapped network drive with XP Pro

I've got 3 systems (all running XP Pro). I've mapped a network drive on two
of the systems from a third system. Ntbackup let me designate the mapped
network drive as a destination for the backup. But when it ran, it failed
with Event 168. I ran the backup through the administrator account with a
password.

Has anybody done this successfully? Seems like it should work.
