Not all applications will run under wine (a lot of them won't).  Also, 
some windows software will not allow you to use shares (IIS, for
example, won't write log files to a network share).  That may not be
your issue.

You didn't mention who the wine process is running as.  Does the wine
user have access to the network share?  That's important.
