 Replying to [comment:4 anonymous]:
 > Might this be due to the Windows File System Redirector that will
 redirect access to those paths for 32-bit binaries?  I'd include a link,
 but it thinks it is spam, so just search for "msdn File System Redirector"
 and you'll find it.

 Oh, man, sure that's it! I get caught on WOW64 thingies every now and
 then; sorry for bothering. The ticket can freely be closed/rejected.
