On which line do you get the Exception? Does it happen with 
shorter paths, as well?
Assuming it happens with all paths: Just to be sure, is each of 
those backslashes actually encoded as a backslash? If you 
specified the path in the D source like `path = 
"N:\PROD_TEAM..."`, then it won't be, because backslash is an 
escape character (you would need to write `path = 
"N:\\PROD_TEAM..."`, or better yet path = "N:/PROD_TEAM..."`).
