I think this is due to the fact that you use an UNC path. It is simply ridiculous that cmd.exe cannot deal with them. I think that you could try mapping the UNC path to a drive letter using the following syntax: net use x: \\host\share /USER:username password in this way, you can access \\host\share as x:\. Maybe you don't even need to specify the username and password. After doing that, I think that you have to accordingly update some ENV variable or registry entry, but I am not sure which one (I really use cygwin rather than windows...). -- Enrico
