Interesting. I run into this before, but can confirm the behaviour.

  1!:0 \\host\share        NB. no directory listing
  1!:0 \\host\share\       NB. no directory listing
  1!:0 \\host\share\*      NB. provides a directory listing for share
  1!:0 \\host\share\subdir NB. lists subdir
  Cmd$> dir \\host\share   NB. provides a directory listing for share

I'm considering ways of altering direxist in the dirutils addon to workaround 
this for now.

Perhaps this something that might get addressed in the next version of J?
