That is easy: Administrators have network access and if you run services using the SYSTEM account or the special accounts available on Vista/Win7 then you can't access files on UNC paths or mapped drives.

The trick usually is to make a special account for this kind of operations which allows it to read/write to the network but doesn't have any rights on the rest of the system(s).
