converting linked mailbox to a room object in Exchange 2007 fails at databaseidparameter

I have executed: disable-mailbox -identity meetingroom and now I want reconnect the mailbox as a room to the database using: connect-mailbox -identity meetingroom -database mailbox database.edb -room Meetingroom

however, it keeps failing to find the database. with the following error: lpus.net\mailbox database.edb not found..

It is using a unc path but our database is located on a different drive on the same server: G:\databases\storage group 1\mailbox.edb and this is not a shared path.

How do I get the powershell to see this database so that I can bind the mailbox to it? Do I need to share the G drive path?

FYI I have tried sharing the path to the database using UNC and that still did not work....

To reconnect the mailbox object in the Exchange store to an external user object, use this example.
Connect-Mailbox -Identity User1 -Database "Mailbox Database" -LinkedDomainController FabrikamDC01 -LinkedMasterAccount user1@fabrikam.com -LinkedCredential $cred
