Those \\ represent a SINGLE character. That is, they LOOK duplicated in code and when you use repr(...) but it's actually a single backslash:

>>> path = "X:\\abc"
>>> path
'X:\\abc'
>>> print path
X:\abc
>>> len(path)
6

Probably you have another issue - please post a short but complete failing code...
