Cygwin problem with cron and networked drives

I have a directory on the network (/cygdrive/f/MD408/out) that is not
recognized when I add a script in cron. If I run this script from the
command line it is recognized.
It's only when it is a mapped network drive (f), it I change it to the
local drive (c) it will work fine.

Here is my cron example:

20 09 * * * exec /cygdrive/c/working/bin/test.sh

Here is the script example of test.sh
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if [ -d /cygdrive/f/MD408/out ];then
echo "Found $outdir"
else
echo "NOT Found $outdir"
fi
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Any thoughts anyone?
