The Windows implementation of "disk" (diskfree is obsolete, however 
uses the same procedures to retrieve disk information) makes use of
the performance data API. So it does not call some command (there is
nothing like "df" on Windows ...) and trying to emulate what Big Sister
attempts to do is not that easy (actually, using the Windows performance
monitor is close).

Hmh, just an idea: Have you ever tried running uxmon as administrator 
directly from the command line, possibly using "-D 5" in order to get
some debugging output? Actually, this might be a permission problem and
we can eliminate this supposition if the same happens with uxmon running
under the normal administrator account.

BTW: Please use an uxmon-net with only

   DESCR features=windows localhost
   localhost disk
   1.2.3.4(whatever)  bsdisplay

(of course with 1.2.3.4 replaced by the IP of your Big Sister server)
for this test so that we are talking about the same setup.

Best regards,
Tom
