I'm using a path such as r"//machinename/sharedrive/dir". With ZHttpServer
this works fine. With apache and the cgi exe it throws an exception... along
the lines of it being an illegal path.

From Apache I get
['D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\python1.5', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5\\plat-win', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\bin', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python',
'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5\\plat-win', '.\\DLLs', '.\\lib',
'.\\lib\\plat-win', '.\\lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\bin']

From ZHttpServer I get
['D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components\\win32', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest/lib/python', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest/lib/python1.5',
'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest/lib/python1.5/plat-win', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5', 'D:\\Program
Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5\\plat-win', '.\\DLLs', '.\\lib',
'.\\lib\\plat-win', '.\\lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\bin']

The main differences seem to be \\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components',
'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components\\win32', however no
such directories exist.
The os.name returned by both servers is "nt". 
Whats going on here?
