Most MySQL tools on Windows prefer to used mixed paths like you have 
used above so I'm puzzled why this problem occurs.

Since you have passed a --configdir=<full path in mixed format> to 
ndb_mgmd, it should use that dir and not try to create the default 
(compiled in) directory.

Would you mind experimenting with --configdir=c:/abs_dir and also 
relative path using --configdir=rel_dir ?

There is also a --verbose switch to ndb_mgmd which you can use to get it 
to print more(although I can't see many additional printouts in this 
part of the code).
