This will happen with any software that stores filepaths including
paths to shares if the share is not available.

Unfortunately, this message cannot be trapped by using eg the utility
X, etc. I think it dates back to the days of floppy drives, when the
OS would prompt for the disc if it couldn't be found.

With my own version of SyncDiscs, to allow automated jobs to be run
unattended, if one of the paths include 'Share', then it enumerates
all the shares currently on the network, and skips the job if the
share is not found at that time.
