Is by any chance D: a network mapped drive in Windows ?

drive mappings are by user session.   the postgres service is running in
a different user session than your interactive desktop session, so your
desktop shared drives mean nothing to it.

if you're copying across the network, use the UNC name,  like

   archive_command = 'copy %p
//servername/sharename/3SDATABACKUP/PITR/WAL/%f'        # command to use
to archive a logfile segment

and make sure that on the server, there is a postgres user with the same
password as the service account.  or, if you are in an active directory
environment, use a domain account to run the service.
