I use Windows 98 and I read for the alias to read
write you need to invert your slashes(\).  Here is how
my aliases are setup and they work perfectly fine
anime   d:/anime
mp3s    d:/mp3s
os      c:/
storage d:/
temp    d:/downloads/temp

The Xitami server is located on the C:, and I am able
to browse that drive fine.  So it might be something
that people who are having problesm accessing their
drives migth want to try.
