given the path structure, youre running it on a network drive.
i dont know (and dont want to know) how attaching network drives is implemented in windows, but the cause of the second error lies there. my guess is that the fs calls arent handled for windows network drive properly, hence the error

that might as well be the cause of the first error too, but just to be sure, you can send the file so i can verify that its not actually flac metadata blocks parsing error

if you live on the edge - you can try running it with admin privileges, might fix both of those issues

Already/always running "as admin". I've always been able to use ordinary flac commands using mapped drives, so I'm guessing flac needs a drive-letter, and not a UNC path.
