Directory puzzle

[Larry_R_Huisingh at rl.gov]

I would suggest 

put there is a directory "//hostnt/library/." 

or 

put there is a directory "//hostnt/library/./"

in an attempt to reference the directory instead of the "share name"
(//hostnt/library).  I think that the share name is treated as a different
kind of reference and needs the appended period "." to indicate it is a
directory reference you are making.  It basically means you need a special
case for determining when you are using just the share name vs. the share
name plus a directory name.
