Fs cache renaming issue?

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

If rclone is called via a batch script, it behaves differently from a direct call via command line. The problem does occur if the script is not located in a main folder, e.g. D:.

The whole thing can also be reproduced differently:
rclone is in C:\rclone. Change with cd to "D:\Gemeinsames".

Call rclone via

D:\Gemeinsames > "C:\rclone\rclone.exe" sync -vv -i D: secret:priv --exclude "/System Volume Information/**" --exclude "/$RECYCLE.BIN/**" --exclude "Thumbs.db"

Log shows

2022/12/29 13:01:33 DEBUG : fs cache: renaming cache item "D:" to be canonical "//?/D:/Gemeinsames"

Rclone then wants to incorrectly delete files.

Everything is fine, if I run it like this

D:\Gemeinsames > "C:\rclone\rclone.exe" sync -vv -i "//?/D:/" secret:priv --exclude "/System Volume Information/**" --exclude "/$RECYCLE.BIN/**" --exclude "Thumbs.db"

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.61.1

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Hetzner Storage Box

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

See above.

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[cloud]
type = sftp
host = ****.your-storagebox.de
user = ****
port = 23
pass = ****
shell_type = unix
md5sum_command = md5sum
sha1sum_command = sha1sum

[secret]
type = crypt
remote = ****
password = ****
password2 = ****

A log from the command with the -vv flag

That's just some normal windows pathing for you.

If you are in a directory and just do "D:", it's the directory you are in.

If you do D:, it's the root of D drive.

Ouch. Thank you very much. So I just need to write D:\. I guess I implicitly assumed that the path specification in rclone is always absolute.
