The output from the ls command looks ok, I can see the etc directory but 
pwd/cd seems to be confused. If I go directly to 
"/plink:mysrv:/home/gary" I can list the files in my home directory but 
cd is still not working.

c:/software/emacs/bin $ cd /plink:mysrv:/
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/ $ pwd
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/ $ ls
bin   dev  home  lib64       media  mnt  opt   root  selinux  sys usr
boot  etc  lib   lost+found  misc   net  proc  sbin  srv      tmp var
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/ $ cd etc
No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/ $ cd /plink:mysrv:/home/gary
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary $ pwd
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary $ ls
