I had the same problem, and to my shame I didn't raise it as a bug, I
simply bypassed it (because my DBA needed the info immediately anyway)
by using wmi. Have a look at
http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html and then try something
like this:

<code>

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ("") # or whatever host name

for disk in c.Win32_LogicalDisk (DriveType=3):
  print disk.Caption

</code>
