VMWare with shared folders - MC17 can't see any of my files, MC16 works fine.

Running MC17 in VMWare Fusion under OSX.  
My file paths are all \\vmware-host\Shared Folder\...

MC16 is working fine, but MC17 can't see any files.  They all show up with the red x and locate disk external results in 'the file ... does not exist'.

If I try to manually add a file, I can browse out to the '\\vmware-host\' folders but when choosing a file I get 'Something went wrong with playback.  Details: The file could not be found. Check that the filename in the library matches the filename on disk.'

Hendrik:
Did you try mapping that path as a network drive?

Is UNC broken in MC17?  I really don't like using mapped drives, since they only exist on a user by user basis.  I switched to UNC paths due to issues with mapped drive letters, but it has been so long I can't remember exactly what those were.

UNC is working fine for me in MC17

Matt:
Could you email a log to matt at jriver dot com after you try playing a UNC path it can't find?

Thanks.
