Subject: Re: Dir.glob of mapped drive

I've got to get to work, so I'll try some of these later.... I've not 
had trouble in the past with a lot of ruby code executing from within 
Eclipse. and have had EXIF code work as long as I was hitting the local 
file system.

I noticed a similar problem last night when trying to use plist to read 
the AlbumData.xml from my mac (returned nil from within ecipse, but 
worked fine from the command line).  

It's looking like the common thread is in trying to read non-local files 
from within eclipse (though I can't see why that should be a problem)
