[p4] Eclipse plugin - keeps saying '{path} not under client's root' - stumped

[Rick Reumann]

Ok, I've been googling forever and about to just give up...

I'm trying to use Eclipse and the perforce plugin on Linux (Fedora7)
that is running on vmware on a WindowsXP host.

WindowsXp also has a client setup (C:\p4client ).

I have the root set up as C:\p4client and I have an alt root set up as
/mnt/hgfs/windows/p4client  (this is a mount to the windows
C:\p4client directory).

Whenever I try to do open for edit or add in Eclipse using the
perforce plugin (right click team options) I get the error about path
/mnt/hgfs/windows/p4client/{path to file} is not under cient's root
'C:\p4client'

What am I doing wrong?  or anything I should try? Thanks for any help.

(I've also tried having an altroot point to a different local
directory on the Linux system, but that didn't help either.)
