  Handy hint for next time: Did you know you can copy and paste most windows
popup error dialogs?  Just press Ctrl+C while the dialog is selected, and then
when you paste it into your text file you'll see something like:

  As to your actual problem, dunno.  I think it ought to work but maybe you
had a transient network failure?  What happens if you try manually to create a
file of that name and path?  What kind of network drive is it anyway?
