Hey Shankar. WAG here. With Windows 2K3 came more security. Check to see
what your *share* permissions are - not just the permissions of the
folder but the permissions of the share point. I believe MS added
something like Network: Deny for security sake and that screws up
Clearcase which you rightly point out insists on using full UNC paths
(for good reason mind you).
BTW It also insists on this for VOBs with the same sorts of issues...
