??? This was already solved:

Mohan, does your GCJ source tree snapshot not contain this patch?
Simon, you can confirm that it is the same bug by passing "e:\\."
(assuming your program resides in the E drive) and it should
work as expected.
If it is, just hold on for a while please...
If all goes well, tonight I hope to submit a patch fleshing
out the unimplemented methods in natFileWin32.cc (including
performListRoots( )).
Ranjit.
