I think it's probably due to the "public" share point versus "non-public" share point (which I never totally understood before) and I'm fearing that I will not be able to convince the powers that be to change it! :-(

You can always resort to running cron as you instead of 'SYSTEM'.  As 
long as you're the only user that needs to run under 'cron', that should
work without changing the permissions of your network shares.
