I had a look at the source code, and it looks like this is *intended*
to work, although the code is pretty gnarly so it's hard to tell for
sure.  I tried extracting it to a test function and translating the
various Windowsisms (DWORD, _tcs functions, etc.) but it didn't work
out.

"C:\\Documents\ and\ Settings\\*\\foo\\bar" would be unquoted to
  C:\Documents and Settings\*\foo\bar

I wonder if that \* is being taken as an escape for the "*"?  Does
...Settings\\C*\\fo... match against your user directory?

ZWC uses the same system as Amanda for bug tracking - this list.  It's
worked well for Amanda, but maybe we need something more official for
ZWC.  Let's get your problem solved before worrying about that.
