Server 2003 and UNC paths

Running Windows Server 2003, we have a batch file executed by a user
other than the server user account. I understand from Microsoft that
"redirected drives cannot be shared between processes that are runing
under different user accounts". It seems though that a batch file
should be able to go to a different server using a UNC path rather than
a hard-coded drive letter:

PUSHD \\newservername\dirname\subdirname\

Is there a reason why that shouldn't work? General network resources
like a UNC path aren't "redirected drives", are they?
.
