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.

       hobbitcgi.cfg - Command-line parameters for the Xymon CGI tools

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbitcgi.cfg(1) controls the commandline options passed to all of the Xymon CGI tools through their respective shell-script wrappers. Typ-
       ically the options listed here are used for system-wide configuration of the CGI utilities, e.g. to define where  they  read  configuration
       files.

       The exact set of commandline options available are described in the man-page for each of the CGI utilities.

       The file is "sourced" into the shell script wrapper, so assignments to the CGI-specific variables must follow standard shell-script syntax.
