Don't know.
Enable debugging *both* in WPKG Client and in wpkg.js (via config.xml) - 
this should tell you something.
Pasting detailed logs here might help if it's still an issue for you 
(which you can reproduce).

When you test it manually, you most likely do it as Administrator (or 
domain Administrator).

WPKG service, on the other hand, is most likely started as a SYSTEM user 
and tries to access the paths with the credentials you specified (you 
didn't tell us how you configured it).

Both are not necessarily compatible, especially if you're accessing 
multiple/different network paths.
