I don't know how Haskell processes file paths but have you tried escaping the slashes? E.g.

pandoc "\\\\network\path\to\file.md"

or even using Unix like path separators:

pandoc "\\\\network/path/to/file.md"

I'm trying to run pandoc, on Windows, against a file on a network share. I'm calling the executable within a Powershell prompt, but the same behavior happens in CMD. I have tried calling

pandoc "\\network\path\to\file.md"

and changing to the UNC folder in Powershell and calling

pandoc .\file.md

and get the same error message: "openBinaryFile: does not exist (no such file or directory".

My hunch is that pandoc doesn't support UNC paths, but I haven't been able to find a quick explicit answer as to whether this should work or not. If it isn't supported I'll give up and move on, but if it is - what might I be doing wrong?
