Error when creating temporary directory on Windows OS

Question

Hi,
I meet the following error when running my Java code on a Windows platform. Basically, I'm trying to create a temporary directory. The error occurs once in a while and only on Windows platform, no such problem on Unix systems.
Stack Trace:
java.io.IOException: Acc�s refus�
     at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
     at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(Unknown Source)
     at java.io.File.createTempFile(Unknown Source)

The method createTempDirectory() from class WFile is given below:
public static synchronized File createTempDirectory(String prefix, String suffix, File directory) throws IOException {
File f = File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix, directory); // <-- line 378
f.delete();
f.mkdir();
return f;
The parameters passed to createTempDirectory() are: "LYT", null and a File denoting a work directory.
Do you know of such a problem with JVM on Windows platform ?
Thanks

The stack trace says that Java called a native method to create the file and got back a return of "access refused" from the native.
Chec the os permissions.
