That's the key, then.  It doesn't matter who is logged in, or even
whether anyone is logged in.  Apache is a service, and runs as the
"network service" user.  That user doesn't belong to the Users group,
nor to any of your domain groups, so it doesn't have any permission to
access the share.

It's a tricky problem.  If you weren't using mod_python, you could run
the CherryPy service separately and specify a user name for it.  It
might be possible for you to configure the Apache service this way.  In
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, run Services.  If Apache is listed,
you should be able to double-click on it and change the "Log On As"
value.  If you do, make sure that's what you want -- it means all of
your web requests will run as that user.
