dbms_backup_restore.deletefile with UNC-Filenames

Hi,

I have Oracle 8.1.7 and use the command:   sys.dbms_backup_restore.deletefile ('c:\Test.txt'); to delete the file (C:\Test.txt) physically from the disk. It all works fine.

Now I have to delete Files from which I only know the UNC-Filenames.   (e.g.: sys.dbms_backup_restore.deletefile ('\\Server\data\Test.txt');
Now the command doesn't work anymore.
I get the error message: "O/S-Error: (OS 13) The data is invalid". But the file does exist. I can delete it (with the UNC-path) from the windows explorer for example.

Has anybody an idea what I did wrong ??

Thanks in advance for any help or comment. Best regards
