Help with copying from one drive to another with cgi & ksh script

Hi I was hoping some one could help me with a problem I have with a .cgi script I am running in the korn shell.
I have created a web form that user fill out to gather information that I use a .cgi and sed script to translate into a xml file which is further processed by another program.

All is well except for one final glitch, the .cgi script I am using will not copy the final .xml file to its final destination on another disk on our network.
I can copy the files to their final network location if I open another shell without a problem - just the current shell that is running the cgi refuse to do so.
I have tried every way around this I know and I still can not get the current shell running the .cgi script to do as I have asked.
If any one has a suggestion that I could try I would be very thankful for your help as I am at my wits end.
Below Is some of the relevant code I am using

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%HH-%MM-%SS")
print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r"
print "my query string from (GET) is \"$QUERY_STRING\"" | cat > /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca/Workspace/$NOW
print "\nWorking..."
cat
sed -i '' -e s'/.*\"Section0Begin/Section0Begin/g' /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca/Workspace/$NOW 
sed -i '' -e s'/JobName\=/JobName\=\$\"/g' /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca/Workspace/$NOW 
sed -i '' -e s'/&Section0End/"&Section0End/g' /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca/Workspace/$NOW 
sed -i '' -e s'/\(\&Section[0-9]End\=Section[0-9]End\&\)/\1\'$'\n/g' /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca/Workspace/$NOW 
and on and on...

Below is the line of code that I just cant seem to make work.

Code:

cp /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca/XML-Library/$NOW-Sec00.xml  /Volumes/AraxiVolume_HW07376_J/Jobs/funnel_Create_Job_Impo/HotFolders/Funnel_CreateImpos_05_22_18/$NOW-Sec00.xml

I would be very grateful for any assistance you can provide.

svnweb-server

SVNWEB-SERVER(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 SVNWEB-SERVER(1p)

NAME

       svnweb-server - simple webserver for SVN::Web

SYNOPSIS

	 svnweb-server [--root DIR] [--port PORT] [--net-server Net::Server]

DESCRIPTION

       svnweb-server is a webserver that runs SVN::Web.  It's an easy way to use SVN::Web without having to set up Apache (or any other web
       server).  The tradeoff is that the server is very simple.  But for light use then it may be perfectly acceptable.

OPTIONS

       --root DIR
	   The directory in which you ran "svnweb-install".

	   Optional, defaults to ".".

       --port PORT
	   The port the server should listen on.

	   Options, defaults to 8080.

       --net-server Net::Server
	   The Net::Server subclass to use to create the server.  A single, non-forking server is created by default.  Other types of server can
	   be created by giving the correct Net::Server subclass.  For example, to use a server that forks to handle each request, use
	   "--net-server Net::Server::Fork".

SEE ALSO

       SVN::Web

BUGS

       This is a simple server.  Accordingly, a few features do not work properly at the moment.

       Redirects
	   SVN::Web::Browse will redirect the client if the URL is missing a trailing "/".  That redirection does not work with this server.
	   That's not an issue for any URLs generated by SVN::Web, but may be an issue for URLs that are entered by hand.

	   This will also affect SVN::Web::List's "redirect_to_browse_when_one_repo" option.

       cgi_class
	   The "cgi_class" declaration (if any) in config.yaml is ignored.  CGI is always used as the CGI class.

       Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-svn-web@rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at
       http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=SVN-Web <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=SVN-Web>.  I will be notified, and
       then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
