Okay,  I'm no expert but lets cover the following common problems.

1. Directory permissions.
   Does the program have permission to write to that directory?

   Are you sure you have the directory structure correctly spelled?
   NOTE: this doesn't appear to be your problem.

3. I can't currently think of any more of the common mistakes.
