Could you use the latest ReleaseCandidate and try it again? John improved the error handling so it should give 2 error messages now.

If it gives the same error, could you
a)
use

 show temp    or  show all

from the syntax window and check if the reported tempdir indeed exists and if you can create a file there.

b) Try if you can save any file to the filename mentioned in the error message

Have fun
