datealias:EMP path:"\\openfly\e\emp"

The reason for your problem is that the indirect method used in this class to
get the path information fails with a UNC path. That is, if the path starts
with "\\".

I have a bug fixed and much enhanced class which will overcome this problem
amongst others, but haven't had time to finish tidying it up for publication.
I'll try to do this over the weekend if possible, and will post back here once
done.
