It appears that Windows paths are not correctly parsed, and  
furthermore that this is the issue with "Directory current" being  
used in pathnames after directory.slate is loaded. I am working on  
the filename-parsing code to handle all of this robustly. A fix  
should be out in a few hours.

Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.
