help! CREATE DIRECTORY on NT !!BFILE!!

Hi I am trying to create a directory on winnt called gif_dir

I use:

 create directory gif_dir as 'c:\gif'

then:

update the_lob set f_lob = Bfilename('gif_dir','sa.gif') where id ='20'

then in PL/SQL when I try and select f_lob into a bfile variable called image1, I get error ORA-22285

The directory doesn't exist??

Please help!
