what is the exact contents of Works::Job No.
To be usefull as (part of) a filename this should also not contain any 
strange characters (?!~*&:@) but only stripped alpha numeric (ab...yz, 
AB ... YZ, 12...90

First try to export to the local disk. Does that work?
This a very tricky thing to debug without being on site.
Any number of glitches within the network might cause the problem. I 
have found filemaker to be very unforgiving. If all fails you could 
export to a local disk. Then use folder actions (a freeware software for 
windows) to copy the file across the network. [http://www.folderactions.com]
