Subject: problem with mkdir -p on network-path

I use bash and fileutils from the latest distribution
on Windows-NT 4.0 SP5.

There is a domain server "GIS1" with a directory "GIS10".

The directory //GIS1/GIS10/UT/software/GAA_31 exists,
but not //GIS1/GIS10/UT/software/GAA_31/xxx.

mkdir -p //GIS1/GIS10/UT/software/GAA_31/xxx
delivers
mkdir: cannot create directory `//GIS1': No such host or network path

Question:
Why tries mkdir to create the directory which already exists?

Regards
Helmut Dipper
