"drive:" is the 'cwd' on the drive, so "drive:directory" is relative
to that. Try "cd e:userdata" and repeat "dir e:userdata" and see what
happens. os.path.join() has to behave as above, otherwise you wouldn't
be able to use it to construct a relative path like that.
(And since I don't think anyone's mentioned it in this thread yet,
subprocess.call() instead of os.system().)
