[erlang-questions] UNC filename handling

Hi,
Seeing a strange thing on Windows systems:
(foo@REDACTED)55> file:list_dir("z:/Signal-53-mp4/frame_store").
{ok,["100","2124","2142","2161"]}
(foo@REDACTED)56> file:list_dir("//HB-SVR/Video/Signal-53-mp4/frame_store").
{ok,["frame_store"]}
Z: is mapped to //HB-SVR/Video, so I would have expected these two commands to produce the same result, but the one going through the UNC form is giving the wrong answer (the contents of the frame_store folder are “100”, “2121”, “2142" and “2161” as the call through the mapped drive correctly returned). This issue, in turn, causes other commands such as filelib:wildcard to return the incorrect results when handed UNC paths.
This is running Erlang 21.2 / erts 10.2
Is this a known issue, or am I misunderstanding how the UNC paths should behave?
Cheers,
Steve
