Hi Doug,


Are you sure you need to double up the backslashes again?  You don't do so
universally on your first glob,

> 	users=glob.glob("\\\\%s\\d$\\users\\*"%host) #<-- works great!


Perhaps you may want to do:

    mailboxes_path = "%s\\\\MYDOCU~1\\Exchange\\" % user
    mailboxes = glob.glob('%s*.pst' % mailboxes_path)

instead?


Good luck to you.
