You should check out the "ExportAllStories" sample script on your InDesign CD. It sort of deals with this stuff. I think that file format in JS is always "/volume/folder/file.ext", so it might start out with "/Server1/Graphics", but to be honest I mostly work in AS.

The script I'm talking about uses Folder.selectDialog to set myFolder and then exports in a different spot below:



	myFolder= Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder"); 


and



	myFileName = "StoryID" + myID + myExtension; 
	myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myFileName; 
	myFile = new File(myFilePath); 
	myStory.exportFile(myFormat, myFile); 




At the very least if you choose a myFolder location on the server like the above example you can do an alert(myFolder) to find out what you chose...
