Works OK setting contentDir to a local directory

I do have write access to the specified network attached drive

I suspect there is some problem that MinimServer has found (or thinks it has found) with the files on the network drive. Running with contentDir set to a network drive that's accessed through a normal Windows drive letter shouldn't cause any problems, although startup might be quite slow. When the cache file has been written successfully, startup speed will improve quite a bit, though it will never be as fast as running with contentDir on a local drive.

To solve this, I'll need to add some extra diagnostics to the code that writes the cache file and put a new version of minimserver.jar in the minimserver.com/download directory for you to try. When I've done this, I'll post to this thread with instructions for how to use the updated minimserver.jar to get the diagnostic information.
