The key there is terminal server, which I guess makes the difference. I too checked the platform SDK for that function before posting because I was curious as well. The part about "shared version of the system" was unclear -- on a regular multiuser NT system it still returns \WINDOWS (or \WINNT or whatever) so that phrase must be referring to TS. Anyway... clearly this has nothing to do with your problem, so pardon the noise.
