I don't mean that UNC. I mean the Windows UNC path. I mean the path that
you need to type into Start > Run on a windows machine to get to the
target resource. Figure out what it is and verify that it works with
Windows. It should be something like:

  \\server\share\path\file.txt

If it doesn't work then maybe you have the wrong path?

When you do figure out what it is, flip the slashes around and add 'smb:'
to the beginning like:

  smb://server/share/path/file.txt

Also, instead of testing with the delete command perhaps you should just
try the Exists.java example until you figure out what the URL really is.
