Filecount not working on Windows

[Framnk]

Relevant telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.filecount]]
  ## Directory to gather stats about.
  ##   deprecated in 1.9; use the directories option
  # directory = "/var/cache/apt/archives"

  ## Directories to gather stats about.
  ## This accept standard unit glob matching rules, but with the addition of
  ## ** as a "super asterisk". ie:
  ##   /var/log/**    -> recursively find all directories in /var/log and count files in each directories
  ##   /var/log/*/*   -> find all directories with a parent dir in /var/log and count files in each directories
  ##   /var/log       -> count all files in /var/log and all of its subdirectories
  directories = ["c:/temp"]

  ## Only count files that match the name pattern. Defaults to "*".
  name = "*"

  ## Count files in subdirectories. Defaults to true.
  recursive = false

  ## Only count regular files. Defaults to true.
  regular_only = true

  ## Only count files that are at least this size. If size is
  ## a negative number, only count files that are smaller than the
  ## absolute value of size. Acceptable units are B, KiB, MiB, KB, ...
  ## Without quotes and units, interpreted as size in bytes.
  size = "0B"

  ## Only count files that have not been touched for at least this
  ## duration. If mtime is negative, only count files that have been
  ## touched in this duration. Defaults to "0s".
  mtime = "0s"

System info:

Telegraf 1.10.0~rc1 (git: HEAD 2d2abe2)
Windows 10 x64

Steps to reproduce:

1. Include filecount plugin config with any Windows path specified
2. Run telegraf --debug --config --test

Expected behavior:

Should see filecount counters in output

Actual behavior:

Filecount counters never listed.

Additional info:

Telegraf reports in log that filecount plugin was detected, just no output is ever shown. Have tried several folders all containing files.
