You cannot use UNC paths in a CMD window.
Try mapping the UNC path as a mapped drive or use SSIS with a file system task.

I hope you might know the risk about cmdshell. You can use the 'Net use with uname and password' to access the share.

sounds user profile related, are you mapping it as a persistent mapping with the same account as the sql-server is running (I'm not sure this will work, but it might)

You cannot use UNC paths in a CMD window.
Just for clarification, You can use UNC paths in a CMD windows. It is FORFILES that does not allow UNC paths.
