Thanks for your help. It is related to my previous question [Splitpath on UNC shares](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/splitpath-on-unc-shares/95015/1) where `joinpath(splitdrive)` also fails:

```julia
julia> splitdrive("\\\\svfae01-solid01\\SED\\SE")
("\\\\svfae01-solid01\\SED", "\\SE")

julia> joinpath(splitdrive("\\\\svfae01-solid01\\SED\\SE"))
"\\SE"

```
