Also, if you really want the files to go to the root of those drives, use
double back-slashes, like this:

   ... dir="e:\\,f:\\,h:\\,k:\\"

Otherwise I think the server might lop off the single ending backslash,
leaving (for example), E:. In this case, I don't think there is a guarantee
that the allocations will go to root.

I noticed on my Windows TSM server, if I did this:

   ... dir="c:\"

A follow-on QUERY DEV F=D showed that the directory was C:\WINDOWS
\SYSTEM32, which is not the desired location. Doing this:

   ... dir="c:\\"

got the desired result.

Best regards,
