Great. I cribbed some LookupAccountSid() code from here:

And that worked, though I had to provide the host name myself. In the case of a UNC path I can just take the first component of it. When it's a mapped drive, I use this code to convert the path to a UNC one:

It seems to work, so that's how I'll do it, unless someone comes up with a situation in which the first component of a UNC path isn't the host name...

Thank you all for your help.
