Damn it, that's what you get when doing things in a proper OS and then 
run it in a broken one :)

Heheh, interesting that it would work.

Try this:
import urllib # at the beginning, then

    # At the line that says:
    output = '<a href="%s/%s">%s</a>' % \
            (conf['base_url'], entry['file_path'], var)

    # Change to
    output = '<a href="%s/%s">%s</a>' % \
            (conf['base_url'],
             urllib.pathname2url(entry['file_path']), var)

If that doesn't work, then use the kludgy way:
entry['file_path'].sub(os.sep, '/') #or something like that.

I don't have a windows box with python installed to know if pathname2url 
works or not, if it does, you can even modify the dospath2uri plugin to 
use it as well.
