FileSystemWatcher gives invalid path error

[A.S.]

When i use FileSystemWatch er to monitor a local directory
on my machine ,it works fine.But I need to monitor a file
on a different server.So i set
FileSystemWatch er1.path="\\ser ver1\App\Data"

However,this gives ArgumentExcepti on:The directory name is
invalid.I tried giving the ip address instead of the
servername ,but got the same error.I also tried mapping to
the directory and giving "H:\App\Dat a" ,again got the same
error.
The server name etc is correct,if i
type "\\server\App\D ata" at the Start->run prompt ,it
opens up the Data Directory.

Thanks in advance.
