Windows server, private filesystem, transliteration: prepends transliterated private filesystem path to filefield path

I haven't been able to take an in-depth look at the module, but the title describes what I think is happening.

drupal / module revisions:
drupal 6.17
FileField Paths 6.x-1.4
FileField 6.x-3.2
transliteration 6.x-2.1
token 6.x-1.12
pathauto 6.x-1.3
content taxonomy 6.x-1.0-rc2
cck 6.x-2.6

my drupal filesystem path is:
C:\XAMPP\lite\SecureFiles\Drupal6
Notice the backslashes. They are needed because I'm using windows.

The FileField path for my "attachments" cck filefield:
CONTENT/[field_parttype-term]/[type]/[field_typeofentry-term]/[yyyy][mm][dd]_[nid]_[title]/attachments
Notice the forward slashes. backslashes get filtered out, forward slashes seem to work fine.

Example location of a file saved when the transliterate box is checked under "File path cleanup settings":
C:\XAMPP\lite\SecureFiles\Drupal6\CXAMPPliteSecureFilesDrupal6\CONTENT\gearbox\genericcontent\specification\20100625_37_testtestdeleteme\attachments

Example location of a file saved using pathauto to cleanup the file path:
C:\XAMPP\lite\SecureFiles\Drupal6\CONTENT\gearbox\genericcontent\specification\20100625_37_testtestdeleteme\attachments

Notice the extra "CXAMPPliteSecureFilesDrupal6" folder when using transliteration. It looks suspiciously similar to my private filesystem path.
