hm.. not quite enough info here to help.. but the doc in buildforge for _MAP says

> Drives mapped via the _MAP variable are unmapped on command completion.

I found the answer in the Known Problems:

Drives mapped with the _MAP trigger variable are not available and the following error message is recorded: "The system cannot find the path specified."

Workaround: use the "net use" command in every step the requires access to a mapped drive. Example: 

net use X:\\server\share
