I would suppose that your PC is running NT. If this is true, then the 
remote command service cannot use the drive mappings you have set up for 
your interactive login. I think it will find C:\photo.bat, but it does not 
know how to find the X drive. Try changing the target file path to use 
universal naming convention. If X is mapped to the root of the unix drive, 
it would look something like \\hostname\sharename(or volume)\lal\001--.tif. 
I don't know exactly what the syntax would be on an SG unix box, but that 
would work on an NT or Netware server. As an alternative, you can also map 
the drive with the Net Use command, and then it will be able to find drive X.
