I cannot help you with Windows specific problems (fortunately,
I need not to work with Windows).
But, I can assure you that an External Method behaves the
same as an external Python script
with respect to security and file access.

Thus, it cannot be Zope that causes access to fail.
Maybe, some other difference (other user, other file permissions, ...).

By the way: "IOError" comes directly from the operating system.
Somehow, your Windows is unhappy about the access to the network
file....
