Hmm, my filespace_names are in lower case:
Node Name           Filespace       FSID     Platform     Filespace
                    Name                                  Type
---------------     -----------     ----     --------     ---------
CC.AMSEL            \\amsel\c$         1     WinNT        NTFS
