I have a folder to monitor for songs set to "\serverMusic". I also have my ripped songs set to go to "\serverMusic". Don't know if that would cause problems or not - it's that way because my initial collection was already in that location. I haven't seen any issues with this.
But, as I mentioned before, my playlists get created under the c:Users{userid}MusicZunePlaylists folder. That's the one I've tried dropping .m3u files into. Note that I've also tried creating a \serverMusicPlaylist and Playlists folders and putting .m3u files there, but that didn't work either.

I don't think using a share instead of a drive letter should make a difference. In version 1.0, I had used the share (\\server\directory) instead of a drive letter. For some reason, when I rebuilt my Collection at some point, I ended up using the drive letters instead.
A while back, I went hunting for the Playlist folder. What I found was that all of my new Playlists were going to my Downloaded Media directory. That is the directory you set up for downloads from the Marketplace. I would create playlists but wouldn't see them show up in my Windows profile folders. It did seem like the Zune software was finding and creating lists in various places but adding and deleting lists all seemed to show up in that subdirectory of the Downloaded Media folder. You can find the location you set up by going to Settings --> Software -- General.
In my case, my Downloaded Media folder is called Zune Marketplace and three subdirectories were created by the software: Playlists, Podcasts, and Received Pictures. If you didn't set up a download location, you might test how setting up a folder and letting it create a Playlist directory might work.
Even if that should fail you, I'm hoping the dragging and dropping might give you some relief.
