[Gdal-dev] HDF file support

Salah,

There are two possibilities.  One is that all the extra filename parsing
done for HDF files (to separate the various parts of the subdataset) are
getting confused by the backslashes or the double backslash.  The other
possibility is that the underlying HDF IO functions don't support the
network drive naming mechanism you used.  If the issue were the first
one, I could look into fixing it.  If it is the second then there isn't
really much I can do about it.

I would encourage you to just keep the files local, or perhaps on a
conventionally mounted network drive (with a drive letter assigned).

Best regards,
