Note that in the error message in emacsError.txt there are _no_ directory 
separators, so the title of this issue is misleading.

The problem is that the Windows directory separator `\` is an escape in elisp 
string syntax, so Emacs drops it from the string. The fix is to convert those 
to Unix directory separators.

Ooops again, I didn't see the post a comment thing.

Well emacs gives the error in the attached text file (forgot to include it when 
I submitted the bug), and then doesn't want to proceed with the merge

Is this a problem?  On DOS and Win32, \ and / are both directory separators, 
basically interchangeable.

When attempting a 3 way merge, monotone gives emacs paths with unix style 
directory separators:

("C:\\Program Files\\emacs\\emacs-22.1\\bin\\emacs.exe" "--eval" 
"(ediff-merge-files-with-ancestor 
\"C:\\DOCUME~1\\brian\\LOCALS~1\\Temp/mtn.left.DPG2JV\" 
\"C:\\DOCUME~1\\brian\\LOCALS~1\\Temp/mtn.right.UGE0ZU\" 
\"C:\\DOCUME~1\\brian\\LOCALS~1\\Temp/mtn.ancestor.KQMJR0\" nil 
\"C:\\DOCUME~1\\brian\\LOCALS~1\\Temp/mtn.merged.WK8A02\")")
