Cannot opendir on a DFS path

[Strahan]

Hi.  I have a machine that has content on several drives.  For example, lets say I am referring to E:\Videos\SomeShow.  The machine has a share, \\machine\video2$ that points to E:\Videos.  I have an intranet page that I use for managing and launching my content.  It has a function as such:

function num_files($dir, $onlyvideo = false) {
  global $ArchiveTypes, $VideoTypes;
  $counter = 0;
  if(is_dir($dir)) {
    if (file_exists($dir)) {
      if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
          if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            if ($onlyvideo) {
              if (ValidFiles($file, $VideoTypes)) $counter++;
            } else {
              if (ValidFiles($file, $ArchiveTypes)) $counter++;
            }
          }
        }
        closedir($handle);
      }
    }
  }
  return $counter;
}

When that code runs and I pass it "//machine/video2$/someshow", it correctly returns the file count.  Now..  in order to prevent having the annoyance of having to track my video shares across multiple drives and multiple machines, I made a DFS root called "//domain.com/videos".  I have a script that runs daily and manages the DFS links to that root my scanning the folders in each drive share.  Works great.  

 

However..  I have found that if I pass that function "//domain.com/videos/someshow" I get:

 

Warning: opendir(//domain.com/videos/someshow,//domain.com/videos/someshow): Access is denied. (code: 5) in D:\Sites\domain.com\media\RootLibrary.php on line 447

 

I was wondering why it listed the path twice, so just to be sure it was passed correctly I echoed it out just before the opendir and it is correct.  Is there some way around that?  Thanks!
