I'm not a python programmer. However I'm pretty sure that the problem is in the 
following code block were it works with c:\dir but not with c:\.

Anyone with more knowledge that can help to find this 'off-by-one' error? (and 
not break the code for linux syntax such as server::/directory

Thanks /ahd71
