 New Comment:

You do need to escape \ even under single quotes, so your first example
is fine:

$path = '\\\\server\\share\\directory\\';

Are you running PHP under a web server? This sounds to me like
permissions issue? Could you try running php.exe from command line and
see if the result is any different.

Above:
    $path = '\\server\share\directory'; 
Should be:
    $path = '\\\\server\share\directory';

I am running out of things to try here.  When I print $path, I get a
valid UNC path with no spaces anywhere but I still get the error above.

$path = "\\\\server\\share\\directory";
or
$path = '\\server\share\directory';

Doesn't matter which I try ... I've tried many different combinations
to produce the path in both 5.2.0 or 5.2.1 RC4-dev and none of them
work.  Everything was fine in php <= 5.1.6

Double slashes are needed only with double quotes, because  "\x" means
an escape character.

Better Example:

$path = '\\\\server\\share\\directory\\';

mkdir($path, 0770);

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Invalid argument in <file> on line
<line>
