Perhaps someone could add this to
"The dosdevices Directory"
at
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-drive-main#CONFIG-DRIVE-SEC...
Windows shares can are mapped into the <TT CLASS="FILENAME">unc/</TT> directory so anything trying to access <TT CLASS="FILENAME">\machinename\some\dir\and\file</TT> will look in <TT CLASS="FILENAME">~/.wine/dosdevices/unc/machinename/some/dir/and/file</TT>. For example, if you used Samba to mount <TT CLASS="FILENAME">\machinename\some</TT> on <TT CLASS="FILENAME">/mnt/smb/machinename/some</TT> then you can do
<PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING">ln -s /mnt/smb/machinename/some unc/machinename/some</PRE>
to make it available in wine (don't forget to create the unc directory if it doesn't alrady exist).

The message I was getting was

so I had a look in the code and found the relevant place, added a few printfs and found that that
\machine\path
maps to
.wine/dosdevices/unc/MACHINE/PATH
so it is supported, it just doesn't seem to be documented anywhere that I could find. Everything is working nicely now.
I'll write a quick FAQ entry if I get time today. Thanks,
Cool! You're right, this does appear to be totally undocumented, I had no idea about this. It should probably go into winecfg and the man pages.
