Most likely, the current directory is not what you think it is, or the user your program is running as has not sufficient rights to write to the file.

Consider using an absolute path to save the file. That way you become independent of what the current directory is.

As an aside, you might want to be careful when using backslashes. In most cases, you can use forward slashes even on Windows, and forward slashes don't have the danger of getting interpreted as escapes:

':content_file'  => 'c:/temp/test.gz',
