I don't use CALL_EXTERNAL but the error suggests that you have a path issue.
It looks like your path is either malformed (should be 'x:\documents' or
'\\documents') or more likely whatever is processing the path doesn't like
spaces so use the 8.1 equivalent (x:\Docume~1\... instead of x:\Documents
and Settings\...)

Check the docs for all references to paths that MAKE_DLL might utilize and
then check those paths.
