This is valid UNC path equal to \\DEV_MACHINE_NAME\share\bzr,
note the prefix is file:// with 2 slashes.

file:///Optima41 <-- as you could see here it has 3 slashes, and no more valid UNC path, but instead
it's unix-like local path.

Try to pass to hudson plugin the URL file://<DEV_MACHINE_NAME>/share/bzr instead of UNC path.
May be this helps.

It seems the one who wrote Hudson plugin was core unix/linux programmer who made shortcuts somewhere
in URL-manipulating code and assumes it working with posix paths always, e.g. /path/to/dir, not
windows (UNC) paths.

It's a bug in hudson plugin then.
