I haven't got any of that lot in my config.sys - just these:

LIBPATH=.;C:\OS2\DLL;C:\OS2\MDOS;C:\;C:\OS2\APPS\DLL;D:\EMX\DLL;C:\DESKPIC;c:\
bmworks

SET
PATH=C:\OS2;C:\OS2\SYSTEM;C:\OS2\INSTALL;C:\;C:\OS2\MDOS;C:\OS2\APPS;c:\sio;c:
zip2;D:\EMX\BIN;d:\ww;C:\DESKPIC;c:\ibmworks;C:\WINDOWS

set temp=c:\temp
set tmp=c:\temp

I just using 'C' and using just my D: drive.

I recall having a problem with the '/' directory separator.  Have you tried
using '\' instead?

There does seem to be a bit of confusion with the separators.  Look at this
output from my log cutter:
