Forgive me, i'm a bit unclear about the use case here.
Is this all correct? You have some dropbox folder, lets call it c:\dropbox\
with a shortcut inside to C:\Program File\Wizards of the Coast\Character
Builder\CharBuilderFull_p\custom? When you sync with dropbox between machines,
and then run cbloader, you get an error about that directory not existing?
If that _is_ all correct, can you confirm that C:\Program File\Wizards of the
Coast\Character Builder\CharBuilderFull_p\custom _does_ exist on your machine?
If it isn't, please help me understand what you are doing.

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug Kilpatrick\My Documents\My Dropbox
Dropbox has a daemon running, so that folder is synchronized between machines
in real time... (or when you log in, if the machine was off when the changes
were made).
I have a folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Doug Kilpatrick\My Documents\My
Dropbox\cbloader\Custom" that has two *.part files in it.
I have a shortcut inside "C:\Program File\Wizards of the Coast\Character
Builder\CharBuilderFull_p" called "Custom" that points to the folder of the
same name inside dropbox. I can double click on that shortcut in the file
browser, and I get taken to the view of the folder inside dropbox.
Does that help?

If I go into the directory and run "dir", the shortcut shows up as
"Custom.lnk", not "Custom", which I assume is the issue or part of the issue.
"cd Custom.lnk" does not work, obviously.

it does. Very much. I understand the issue, I would have to add explicit
support for this scenario. Have you tried using a shortcut from within your
dropbox folder to the 'real' character builder folder? If dropbox already
supports resolving the shortcut, we can bypass this one for now.

Dropbox is cross platform, so that won't really work. (It will copy of the
foo.lnk file, and not know to recurse into it. Or if something happens, it
might delete the link and recreate it as a directory.)
I have created symlinks in XP before, so I know it's possible. But i don't
happen to have the utility ("junction") handy right now. I'll download that
for my workaround.

I'll add this when I can.

Any easy workaround for this is to simply copy the entire CharBuilderFull_p
folder into your dropbox folder - It's what I've been doing for some time.

NTFS junctions are quirky, but they're probably close enough to symlinks. the
linkd.exe utility can be easily found on Google to create them.

While I have not added shortcut support, the best workaround for this is
probably to create your own file named cbloader.bat containing the following
line:
cbloader.exe -f "C:\Documents and Settings\Doug Kilpatrick\My Documents\My
Dropbox\cbloader\Custom"
this will force cbloader to look in your custom directory for .part files.
(This feature is now functional in v1.1.2.
