> I'm having trouble viewing shared, networked (WinNT) directories from

I suspect you might be best using WSH Filesystem objects
(I assume you are on a Microsoft platform?)

Get winall or the ActiveState Python which inxcludes it 
by default.

Activate WSH support(Active Scripting)

Use the FileSystem COM objects to access your dir.

For more details see Mark Hammonds Win32 book.
Also some past threads on this list include examples 
- search at ActiveStates mirror.
