You really can't do this. You would need to have domain administrator privilege to that drive. Even if you would get it working it is a dangerous move, as you are going to make your database dependent of a networked drive: it is likely going to hurt performance and if that drive will crash,at it's best your database is going to freeze, if it doesn't crash completely.
I stronly urge you to reconsider this configuration, unless you are looking for a different job.
