Tim,
The path separator issue has bitten me more than once.
The 'rules' are:
- lpath must always be the path from the mount point, and must always be forward slashed. It must not have a leading slash.
- path must be the complete path, and must always use os.sep.
- prefix must be the path to the root of the storage, and must use os.sep. It must have a trailing os.sep.
If you carefully follow these rules, then all the various bits of software will know what to do when constructing and manipulating paths.
You might not have noticed a new classfunction added to USBMS.driver, normalize_paths. It takes a constructed path (for example, os.path.join(prefix, lpath)) and returns that path corrected for the local OS and validated to be unicode. The base driver uses that function liberally.
