Sorry that I didn't have time to give this my full attention earlier.

This looks basically ok, but I think you left in a section of code that
shouldn't be there.  It seems to run a while loop twice looking for a
'\\'.  That can't be right.  Is this just something wrong with the
patch?

Also, I'm not sure what this is going to do to those mount tables which
have just a "c:" in them.  I think they should work ok but somehow I
have a nagging feeling that there might be a problem there somewhere.
