What service pack do you have installed?

Try:
//IWSERVER/default/main... instead of y:/default/main.

I believe that one of the service packs resolved this and allowed you to use the Y: paths, but my memory is a little rusty.

Also, since this is deploying from TeamSite 5.0.x, you need to make sure the TeamSite version is properly - something like the following in odbase.:
<teamsiteProperties version="5.0" />

STAGING works because it is a real filesystem path. EDITION, however, is an OD macro. If you deploy a complete filepath (such as .../conversion/EDITION/ed_023) it should deploy.
