Java.sql.SQLException: Could not generate the DTD because..

Question

I am trying to reverse an XML file and running into the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Could not generate the DTD because the file could not be created. Verify that you have write permission in the directory.
I have permission to the directory, so I suspect something else is causing this. I saw in another thread that file name length sometimes caused this. I tried that approach and it did not help.
I am trying to get data from an oracle table and put it in an XML file using an interface.
I have my interface set to use an oracle source table and an XML target. My LKM is SQL to SQL and my IKM is SQL Control Append. I have staging area different from target set.
My model (for the XML file) has technology set to XML, uses the SnpsXML jdbc driver and I use the following parameters in my file path: f, d, s, dp. This tests successfully.
I am trying reverse the xml file using standard reverse.
I am running this on a remote agent.
I am using ODI 10.1.3.5.5
Thank you for any help you can provide me.

The exact error message I recieved was the following:
The Technology or the Driver used does not support Reverse Engineering.
java.sql.SQLException: Could not generate the DTD because the file could not be created. Verify that you have write permission in the directory.
