I have been using mp3tag for a long time on windows without any problems. I have recently switched to Mac and I'm using VmWare fusion to run windows xp to run mp3tag. So far everything works, except the directory name change.

I'm using %format value% on \_DIRECTORY to change the directory to %artist%\%album% or %album%, but I always get an error the the file doesn't exist.

The drives are mapped to xp machine where mp3's are stores. What is the reason that I can't rename directory like I could in windows. Is this a disk format issue?
