Windows Explorer does not so allow, but yes, Windows does. With xp
>>> os.stat('some file ')
nt.stat_result(st_mode=33206, st_ino=6473924464520118, st_dev=0, st_nlink=1, 
st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=13, st_atime=1304114221, st_mtime=1304114055, 
st_ctime=1304113961)

Same with full path.

I would go into distutils\filelist.py and print(repr(fullname)) just before the 
os.stat call to see if there is anything strange. Maybe also try same call 
interactively like I did above, outside disutils context.
