NuGet Pack -- Failed to retrieve information from remote source

Question

I am trying to run:

nuget pack project.csproj

but because of the directory structure of the project:

A\B\C\Project

it keeps saying:

NuGet.Protocol.Core.Types.FatalProtocolException: Failed to retrieve information from remote source 'A\B\Packages', which it really should be 'A\Packages'. How do I change where NuGet looks for packages while establishing dependencies.

I have tried putting a NuGet.config in both the project directory as well as the Solution (in .nuget). I added this to the file:

<config>
    <add key="repositoryPath" value="A\Packages" />
</config>

in both places and it made no difference (it always says A\B\Packages).
