This may require a different solution:

Looks like you need to experiment with the form of this variable, it
could be any of the following:

  \\host\path\
  \\host/path/
  \\\\host\\path\\

Note that spaces in paths are nearly impossible to deal, use short
form (dir /x) in all cases.

Hack around in creamrc for how Cream finds a place to put the profile,
you're looking for conditions within a has("win32").

Correct, the debug info should give you the raw discovered values. Add
some more debug summation lines if it helps, obtain them as we did
before.

I'm certain this can be made to work, we just need to understand where
the UNC path structure is being mis-interpreted.
