Hmm. That's interesting. It sounds like an issue with something at the Windows end. My test that I did was with Mountain Lion and I'm sure that I did this with Lion as well prior to the upgrade. I'll confirm with Lion when I go back to work tomorrow and let you know. Going back to SL is unnecessary in my opinion. I will also see if I can learn something about what may be happening for you. Have to go shovel snow now so won't investigate for a while.
