Network paths were never supported in Blender, it is still a TODO there http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Install-OS#Windows

Not sure why you claim 2.73 worked, because for me it does not work. Might be some weird co-incident for you, but it's not supported officially. So thanks for the report, but closing it now.

Yeah, it worked perfectly for 2.71->2.73 actually (maybe longer, that's all I can confirm). Thanks for letting me know.

Wait hold on. Was double-checking on it and there was some initial work done there rB5afb0ab.

So at that level of support it should all work still. Not sure if it does not work for me, something for investigation.

It is actually caused by rBa08c5e1. Some stat calls are not supported for UNC paths.
