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.

The wine process is running under the same user that was used to
authenticate when root mounted the share, the user used has full access
rights.  I understand that most software will not work, but I moved the
data files to the same folder the program resides in and then configure
the program to look in its folder for the data files the Ap. will work
correctly.  I have also mounted the share in wine-c folder as tsiefleet
and configured the Ap to look for the data files in c:\\tsiefleet with
no luck.

I have mentioned that the share form the sco box is configured to not be
browsable from the windows nethood, but when I map a drive from a
windows machine I am able to open that share and list all its contents.
How is this different from mounting the same share on Linux?
