Hm... I wonder if this has to do with path definitions. Can you 
define your website/repository directories like this instead:

  --website_dir=c:/apache/OI/conf/package_repository.perl

IIRC OI uses join( '/', $dir, $dir ) instead of File::Spec to 
create paths, and I think Win32 will do either '/' or '\' but not 
both in the same path.

The fact that things worked is kind of weird though...
