Problem with attaching database on network share (SQL Server 2005)

I'm trying to execute following command:
DBCC TRACEON (1807, -1);
sp_attach_db @.dbname = N'PGDT', @.filename1 = N'\\Server\D\SQL
DataBase\PGDT\PGDT.mdf', @.filename2 = '\\Server\D\SQL
DataBase\PGDT\PGDT_log.ldf'
and I get following error:
Msg 5133, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Directory lookup for the file "\\Server\D\SQL DataBase\PGDT\PGDT.mdf" failed
with the operating system error 5(error not found).
Note: this file exists and I have full permissions
Any help appreciated.Hi
Do you have permission to this path?
Why would you want to do that? RESTORE , doesn't help you?

I had to start sql server under Administrator account, and not local
account.

restores). You will probably need to check that other services e.g.
agent can still work with SQL running on the domain account. Agree with
above - a remote ATTACH sounds like a pretty risky idea - performance
will likely be lousy and could be fragile as network issues will
destabilise?sql
