opendir and IIS

Hi All, Currently Im battling a opendir on IIS(2003 server). The manual says to set your path to "\\server\share\directory" So i set it up $path="\\\\zice\\itdept\$\\Mis"; Setting it that way results in: "failed to open dir: Invalid argument" error. tried reversing the slashes, same deal. tried via mapped drive letter, same deal. Anyone know the exact phrasing that will work for me? I have r,w, directory browsing set on the shared servers dir for both the remote IIS machine name as well as the IWPG account of the remote machine. Thanks, -ccma
