From your description, it sounds like the PDFs should be stored under
y:\myur1
Have you tried that?
See my blog at
http://blogs.sun.com/jluehe/entry/alternate_docroots_and_local_resource

is mapped to the local filesystem, and also provides a few examples.
Let me know if you still have any questions.
