Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],
I don't know much about how the NT filesystem, but I _suspect_ this is what's
happening:
To determine if a file exists, REBOL tries to get a filesystem lock on the file or
directory (this is happening on Amiga at least, verified with snoopdos). The result of
this action (success/failure) determines the result of exists?
AFAIR directory locks are mostly used to read the contents of a directory, so it might
be that the user under which the rebol/cgi script is running does not have the
required priviledges to do a directory-listing.
Try doing a (print what-dir) and a (list-dir) in the "other" script (ie. not the cgi
one).
Best regards
Thomas Jensen
