I have not the *slightest* idea, sorry. The only thing I can say is
that it is *not* the tlmgr perl code that is trying to access that
directory.

What the perl internally does, sorry ... that is something a Windows
guru need to answer.

I have myself a card reader on Windows, but have never seen this message.

All the best
