unc path issues

I am running an export script using winscp, and I am getting the following error when I try to run my batch file.

'\\serv\apps\app\SFTP\WinSCP'
cmd.exe was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

any thoughts on what could be causing this issue.

The error comes from Windows shell. It has nothing to do with WinSCP.
