CreateDirectory( "U:\\disks\\cygdown\\latest\\ash", NULL ), notice the lack
of a
trailing backslash; it still fails, and this is being called from the sample
program
I wrote, so it has no dependency on Cygwin.
I just installed Samba 2.0.7 and the problem still exists, at least on my
machine.

I believe that this may just be a problem with the trailing backslash. I
think we go out of our way to get rid of this in cygwin.
