Decommssion Server analysis error

I am trying to use the Decommission Server analysis tool to remove 1 server from my domain. I havelogged onto that server using the admion client, selected the Decommission server tool, selected the appropriate servers, selected the correct location of the decomsrv.nsf andf pressed OK. I always get an error " The Remote pathname must be relative to Data Directory" All I can click on is OK. I have created the decomsrv.nsf locally on my pc in the Data directory then replicated this to the other 2 servers data directories. I havea slo verified the 2 servers notes.ini files do not have any strange reference to the data directory. Any help to overcome this glitch would be appreciated.

Tracked error down to my notes.ini on a shared network drive. Works OK if notes.ini is in application directory on local pc.
