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?
