    I've never used a SAN. It is possible that it has its own name 
system and what you are seeing is the result of different views of that.

    Does performing a dir /X from the command line show the short names 
from the 2003 system? If so it means that there are APIs capable of 
finding the information so I'd be trying to use ctypes to call the 
underlying wide character FindFirstFileExW function.

    This was hex escaped from *COSBY SON PROFILE/NYT18.
