You missed the part about the nonexistent drive 1.  Sometimes when you get 
a "file not found error" the drive tries to search for it on drive 1.  I 
don't know how to produce this error other then explicitly attempting to 
load from drive 1.  When I do this, "*" mostly returns the that loaded 
correctly. Once it loaded a totally unrelated file.
