arcpy.tableToTable doesn't work on server???

Server problem: arcpy.TableToTable doesn’t work on the server, but works fine on the desktop. The exact same code works great on the desktop, but errors out saying that the ms excel spreadsheet that I’m trying to convert doesn’t exist or isn’t supported. I can access the directory just fine in a remote session running the script from the server. ERROR 000732

Any ideas? AGS 10.1
