Deplyoment distribution fails when DC is Windows and HC is linux

There is problem with the distribution of the content (deployments) between the DC running on Windows 7 and the slaves running on CentOS/RHEL 6.2. The content is distributed to the slaves, but the filename "content" in content sub directories is prefixed with "\", as "\content". If I rename the file to "content", the host picks up the correct deployment after restart.
