Please see Rebecca's earlier response that these have been fixed for

One quick thought - If any paths contain a space that might be causing
a problem. You could try defining any such paths using the 8.3 file
name syntax (e.g., \Docume~1\etc) and see if that helps, at least to
get you past this hurdle. Certainly blanks in file paths should work
but maybe they don't.
