W2K PRO NL shows this: D:\temp>mkdir foo:bar De mapnaam is ongeldig. D:\temp> Which is Dutch for: "The directory name is invalid" IIRC a ':' is only valid when adressing a Drive and cannot be used in Directory names Creating a mount wich points to such a name(mount doesn't care if there is a physical directory to point to or not) sounds to me as a highly dangerous thing to do. Just like depending on case sensitive names to make a difference on *nix, which Windows(all of them) doesn't support and your environment breaks as a result of that. As a result of a : being somewhere where it shouldn't be, it doesn't surprise me that umount doesn't know what to do with it(I havent't read the source so I'm assuming that the result is 'undefined') and fails. Using things like $ or # or any other valid characters in your filenames just isn't worth all the trouble it gets you in when trying to use scripts on them. It's a hell trying to escape things correctly and trying to prevent something from interpreting them.
