Which is correct behaviour.

On POSIX systems it is *possble* to use this parameter to access a database on an NFS mounted filesystem (the POSIX equivalent of a shared drive).

Yes: give up trying to do it on Windows. It is simply not supported. Embedded on Windows is a specific model for a stand-alone situation. If the database is not on the same physical system as the embedded Superserver, it's just a no-go. If you want a compact single-user model that can access a database on another host then run Classic on that other server and use the regular client on the user's machine.
