file share subscription problem

I've setup a file share subscription to render a report to an AS/400
file system, but it is failing with Logon failure: unknown user name
or bad password --> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
(0x8007052E):
I'm supplying the correct username and password to access the
directory, and I'm specifying the unc path for the AS/400 correctly
(\\myas400\root\qdls\ftp). The reason I know this is because I am
able to go into Windows Explorer and type in the exact same UNC path,
then supply the username and password when prompted, and I can get in
just fine. I can also copy files back and forth, etc.
Any ideas? This looks like a possible bug to me. My guess is that
nobody's tried rendering a file share subscription to an AS/400
before, so it's probably never been tested.
I guess as a workaround I can render the report to a microsoft file
system and then ftp it over to the AS/400, but I really think this
should work as advertised. That's a lot of extra hoop jumping.This sounds like a security permission issue. Can you try the following: the
RS windows service is running under a certain account. Make sure this
account also has permissions to access the AS/400 network share.
