Well, first of all, anyone who has it set to accept every file that anyone sends is taking huge risk.
Other than that.... on 98 and 98SE, if you try /dcc send nick > you get "dcc send of > to nickname unable to open file". With XP, it does show completed as you said. However, if you used a ficticious filename instead of > , or use _ on XP, you also get the unable to open file error. Perhaps XP uses the > for some redirect or something?
