This is a known issue in release 2.1.8.  Using absolute paths
as an argument to the collection() function on Windows
fails to resolve the argument to a BDB XML container.

The simplest workaround is to alias the container.  After you
open the container, use this method:
     container.addAlias("mycontainer");
Then, in the query, you can use:
     collection('mycontainer')/*

In general, aliasing container names is useful to eliminate
all possibility of different paths resolving to different container
names.  It is no less efficient, internally, to use aliases.
