My guess is that there is no wintemp subfolder beneath the share assigned to D:

If d: is mapped to \\gershwin\gendata, you need a \\gershwin\gendata\wintemp to use your pathing. You also need full privileges in the wintemp folder.

Remember the sharename is mapped to the root of the mapped drive - one reason that mapped drives may be very hazardous. I'd suggest setting the environment variable by UNC if it isn't local.
