If you have an assign to a directory on the disk and then remove the
disk from the drive, the assign command will only tell you the
disk name and not the full directory path. This is because the
assign creates a lock (containing a pointer back to the volume lock).
All of the intermediate directory names on the path are not around
anywhere when the disk is out. Try doing the assigns and put the
LC1: disk back in to check the assigns on that volume.
Since you say that the LC command does not find the locks, 
something may indeed be wrong; but it sounds like a misinterpretation
of output to me... -- Darren
