This will only apply if the Ruby script is actually run on the Mac
itself rather than on the Windows system.  The OP is trying to run the
script on Windows while accessing the directory to be processed on the
Mac via Windows file sharing.  The backslashes are appropriate in this
case; however, Windows /will/ use backslashes and forward slashes mostly
interchangeably. :-)
