Errors when using model path from Comfyui

[AxelFooley]

I am running SwarmUI and ComfyUI on the same node, a windows host. I already have models, loras and all the things downloaded and in use by ComfyUI, so in Server -> Server Configuration i followed the instructions and provided absolute path for my ModelRoot which is in my case "D:\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\models", all other directories (checkpoints, loras, etc) are subfolders of this root.

SwarmUI is rejecting the change and in the logs i see this:

10:06:31.985 [Warning] User local changed server settings: paths.modelroot, paths.sdmodelfolder, paths.sdlorafolder, paths.sdvaefolder, paths.sdembeddingfolder
10:06:31.989 [Error] Failed to create one or more directories: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. : 'D:\SwarmUI\Model paths settings are invalid, rejected change.
