Richard,

Are you sure that every directory specified in the user and system path is a valid directory? I just think it's worth being sure since even though the path's syntax is correct, there may be a rogue directory listed in there.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else the problem could be. Perhaps someone else might have some additional ideas.

Laterness,
Jon
