This has to be one of the strangest bugs I've ever seen in ZTree.

First, the error occurs under any directory or subdirectory, not just from the root of a drive.

Second, it only occurs when grafting to a directory on another drive.

Third, it occurs any time there is another directory name or file name in the parent source directory with one more trailing "!" than the directory being grafted.

For example, attempting to graft the first of the following pairs gets the error:
\ABC!!!!
\ABC!!!!!

Or:
\ABC.XYZ!!
\ABC.XYZ!!!

The error occurs even if the second name is a file rather than a directory.
