I'd be wary of this. Sharepoint does an awful lot with its SQL server, and shoving files around outside the 'normal' interface has not always done what I'd like.

Does josephjohn even have UNC access to the SharePoint file system? Lots of SharePoint portals have content managers for site trees (e.g., y'r h'ble ob't) who are outside the firewall and can't do anything with UNC or mapped drives.
