Thanks agains Dan!, we are already using Mallow in other parts of the
project but we can't use it in this one. I will try to figure out what it's
happening and if I am able to find some solution I will back to this thread
to tell you what I found.
Thanks,
-Adrian

Morning Adrian!
We originally saw the problem using mallow and during our problem hunting
we tried tallow just to try and narrow down the problem. One thing I
noticed today is that our build server had reset
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation back to 1 so looks like we have a policy that
is resetting it, but after changing it back to 0 and rebooting it works ok
with dir names so I'm not sure, sorry!
You could try mallow just to see if it gives you the same result, although
I expect it will but worth a try anyway.
Dan

Hi Dan, thanks!... that worked for Files but it not for Directories... do
you have a similar issue with directories as well?
