Hi Simone,
Thanks for the pointer. Though the issue is not resolved but I've a workaround now. I shared the filestore with 'Everyone' granting read/write permissions and configured the WorldImage stores using UNC path of the shared folder.
Thanks everyone for replying 
Thanks & Regards,
Samyajit Talukdar

Ciao Samyajit,
as I suggested, this is usually a permission problem of the account GeoServer is using to run.
Make sure it can interact with remotely mapped drives (this is not the case for System Accounts in Windows afair)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry about the company footer. It gets
automatically attached en route to the recipient.
I understand this is an old version but immediate update is not on the
cards.
I tried opening up the images in fire fox and pasting the url. This
did not help.
Thanks
Samyajit

That is an older copy of GeoServer, we find (and fix) issues with
windows filenames fairly often. This has gotten a lot better recently
thanks to the generation donation of a windows build box 
Try using a browser such as fire fox to determine the URL to your
world image file - and then cut and paste that into the configuration
screen. It could be that world+image is fine with your remote file
server, but the file browser is unable to browse it.
(you may also wish to remove your company Privileged/Confidential
information footer when posting a question on a public email list such
as this).

Hi,
I have an installation of Geo Server 2.1.0 deployed as an application
on Oracle Weblogic Managed Server. I need to configure a WorldImage
store. The World Image files are stored in folder(WPM_Images) on a
remote file server running on Windows 2008 R2. The folder has been
shared and mapped as Network Map Drive(W) on the box where the
Weblogic Managed Server is hosted. The images can be accessed as
W:\*.PNG. However, when the WorldImage store is configured, the W
drive is not visible from the browse function. Does Geo Sever 2.1.0
support mapped drive or do I need to use UNC path? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
