The unc mapping, e.g. //d/projects/taglib, does give the same errors.

The problem only occurs when both machines are running Windows 95.
There is no problem with a Windows 95 machine mounting a FAT disk from
a Windows NT 3.51 machine, or for the Windows NT machine mounting a
Windows 95 disk.  I'd been happily using gnu-win32 for a year before I
had the misfortune to need to mount a Windows 95 disk from another
Windows 95 machine...
