Microsoft Word save as via Applescript

Hey everyone!

Here's my scenario:
I want to mount a shared (smb), open Microsoft Word,
create a new document, save it to the mounted share,
and quit Word.

However, the save as part doesn't seem to be working
on a mounted volume! Heres simply what i'm doing for
the save portion:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
  save active document in "Macintosh
HD:Volumes:mymount:hello.doc"
end tell

This give a "Microsoft Word got an error: active
document doesn't understand the save message" error.
The same works fine for a local folder.

Am I doing anything wrong? This has been driving me
crazy!

Thanks a lot in advance!
Dave
