I think VP/ix is not to blame for this. WP however distinguishes between
'real' drives and 'networked' devices; it won't work properly with the latter,
presumably just because this enables WP Corp. (why do I address those people
politely while they cripple people's minds with their trashware) to sell
a version capable of running in a network as a separately priced (read: more
expensive, but actually the same) product.
