If $ were the culprit, then why does M: map as it has a $ in the path? What OS is the client? Not all support deep mapping.



You may recall back in the early days Ruud introduced special handling for "$" when it is the last character in a string, specifically to handle hidden shares names prior to general OS support for deep mapping.

Having said that, I've just tried to break it and I couldn't.

Definately put the error checking in, it's invaluable in determining the reason for the failure.

For those client that fail you could also try the mapping at the command line and see if it works.
