Nevermind, I got it to work.

It appears that ogr2ogr tries to use some upper case names (*/hydro/L/L/FAC) 
and then it tries lowercase but in the process changes the entire path to 
lower case and then goes through a whole list of combinations and fails.

I removed some upper case letters from the path and it worked but I think it's 
rather silly that it didn't try */hydro/L/L/FAC and then */hydro/l/l/fac 
before messing around with the rest of the path outside of the vmap0 data 
directory.

Regards
Paul
