Hmm, this could suggest that XEmacs doesn't eat its own dogfood -- I
would have expected that it would understand file names generated by
itself.

Did you literally replace / with \ or with \\?  Backslash is an escape
character in Emacs strings, so you need to write \\ in strings to
represent it.

Anyway, here's a new version which changes the backslash to slash the
apropriate place:
