I did read your node and tried adding a $^E in the die statement and it only gave a redundant comment about an invalid directory. If you had read my code you would notice I only tested for an invalid directory. I don't have an admin login on my work machine and couldn't test for insufficient file privileges.

I was pointing out that the error message the OP presented was obviously not from an invalid directory.

My only guess is that your script is running in a context where it doesn't have a current "working drive" and if you prepend the "C:" to your string, that it might fix the problem.

From that statement you didn't seem to be considering permissions as a possibility so I brought it up.
