CAUSE

The Setmdir command is not correctly reading the mapping line after the sysdatpath line in the Machines.ini file.

RESOLUTION

A normal Machines.ini entry would look something like: 
   [000000000000]
   sysdatpath=h:\user1
   h=\\server\share\dir1
Reverse the order of the lines in the Machines.ini file, so that the entry reads as follows: 
   [000000000000]
   h=\\server\share\dir1
   sysdatpath=h:\user1
