Comment (by Karen Tracey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):

 From experimentation, you get the error cited in the description if you
 include backslashes, e.g.: DATABASE_NAME = 'c:\tmp\playground'.  Changing
 that to DATABASE_NAME = 'c:/tmp/playground' avoids the error.  (There's
 already an admonition to always use forward slashes down in the comments
 on the TEMPLATE_DIRS, but for the initial syncdb users probably haven't
 read that far down.)
