Hmmm, that's an interesting one. Is the network drive somehow
using quotas, perhaps?

Another one. Did you try your patch with UNC paths? I'm asking
because MSDN states that UNC paths must end with a backslash
when using this function (\\server\share\). It would be really
nice if you could have a look.
