filewin:/ path error when using two machine FM Server deployment

I have a solution that uses container fields to store a large number of documents. It was suggested that I rebuild my FM environment to use two separate machines, one for FM Server and one for the container field storage. I have the two machines setup and have mapped a shared volume to the FM Server machine. I can move files to and from the share, so I know it is working.  I am using the following path in the Admin Console:

filewin:/Y:/Test/

Where Y:/ is the mapped drive and Test in the shared folder.

 

I get an invalid path  error when trying to save this path.

The two servers are not in the same domain and do not have AD running, but they each have the same admin user account name.

Is there another syntax I should be using for the path? Does this setup require a domain or some other configuration to work?
