Hi William,
I'm guessing that you're using a version of IDL before 6.0. In my tests,
it fails as you show in 5.6, but is just fine in 6.0, as reported in
IDL60/help/relnotes.txt:
27956 - FILE_SEARCH Function Now Works for UNC Conventions
----------------------------------------------------------
UNC conventions can now be used with the FILE_SEARCH function.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
--
