issue with ddefine on win2k3

[Fairlight]

I don't get this.

I have some existing files in f:/filepro on a Win2K3 system.  I can go into
them with dclerk, I can go into them with ddefine.

Using the same exact env vars (I'm coming from the same menu), I get the
following when trying to create a new file:

*** A System Error Has Occurred ***

Cannot open file.
//filepro/test/map: Error Number -1
Windows error #53
The network path was not found.



...Yes, and of course it doesn't exist -yet-, ddefine is supposed to create
it.  If it's complaining about the directory not existing, well, it was
supposed to take care of that as well (it isn't...the directory doesn't
exist), and it's also complaining about the wrong thing, then.  

Now why would I be able to perfectly well get into existing databases but
not create a new one?  Further, if I manually make the directory, I see it
show up in the list of files, but I get the same error.  So I guess that
answers the question of whether or not it's complaining about the map or
directory...except it's still supposed to be handling these things.  I
tried creating a 0 length map just so the file exists, it then complains
about it being "no or invalid map", which I suppose is sensible.  I just
don't see why it's seeing this stuff but not performing steps it should be.

It shouldn't be permissions issues of any sort...I'm in as administrator.

Windows 2003 Server, fP 5.0.14DN9

PFDSK=f
PFDATA=/
PFDIR=

Actual database directory:  f:/filepro

Ideas?
