The VM should use a drive letter to map it. Were you using the mapped drive to access it?

But -- here's what I left out -- I was running the standalone in Parallels from the "network" drive (i.e., the folder on my Mac.) All the "play audioclip" commands worked fine but players with sound files assigned didn't. Apparently QT doesn't like to load sound files from a virtually mounted drive. When I copied the sounds folder to the XP VM it started working.
