Resolution
A problem using UNC file paths in the base SP03 version r11.6 20035 was fixed in patch SO13670 (r11.6 20041).
Additional Information
XCOM patches are cumulative and the latest r11.6 SP03 XCOM for Windows patch will also contain this fix.
As a general point XCOM Support advise to install the latest patch available even if an earlier patch fixes the specific problem encountered. That is because being on the latest maintenance reduces the chance of encountering any other known problems that have already been fixed.
The Solution Downloads page for different XCOM versions/OS platforms can be found here: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=XCOM&tab=Solutions
For XCOM for Windows expand "XCOM Data Transport for Windows Family Server WINDOWS-ALL" to access the latest SP03 patch for the required version 11.6.
