Not sure you can map special paths, I haven't been able get path substitution to work since the XBOX, i don't think it was ever intended to be used in the manner you are using it.

that being said, what I have is a Thumbnail cache on a share similar to you, but I use the OS to mount that share using "automount" and then just "ln -s Thumbnails /mount/share/Thumbnails" to it symbolic link it, has been working flawlessly for the last 3-4 months.

my 2 cents.

Yeah, the substitution works on ATV2 now, but not sure if it works on ATV1, can't confirm it. Have tired mounting the volume, but not sure if I'm doing something wrong as it doesn't seem to work. Will give it another go.

Thx.
