In my case, "midas$" is a hidden share and using "$$" caused no problems, (thanks for that Nico). My original problem, (VSS complaining that the SSDIR environment variable had not been set), has mysteriously dissapeared, even without the escape "$". I discovered this the day after posting my original message when I was going to try Nico's suggestion of adding another "$". The only thing that had changed is that I had rebooted my machine, so I'm still at a loss to explain why I had the problem in the first place. Anyway, I just wanted to relay that to the thread.
