[EDIT] I don't think this answers your question. I think I need a break. I'll have a look later.
I very much doubt if recording on any network drive will work reliably.
The recording is done with ffmpeg in a shell on the operating system of the device you are on.
Most ffmpeg versions aren't compiled with the libraries to write to smb or nfs drives.
Even then the login user credentials aren't passed from Kodi to the shell to ffmpeg so it doesn't know how to log in.
You could mount a network drive on your device in the operating system to make it easier for ffmpeg to access the network drive.
There is probably a way to redirect the output of ffmpeg back to Kodi and let Kodi's network file handling write to the network drive.
I haven't got the energy to try all that but if you or anyone else wants to experiment, be my guest.
