Quick check: is there a blank (' ') character anywhere in your .sav
file's path? (I know, you're thinking "What an odd question!" :-)

If so, you have stumbled on a bug in IDL Runtime for Windows that I
came across a little while back. The bug was still there in IDL 5.2b1,
but I was told that it was going to be in 5.2 final, and indeed it
seems to be fixed in 5.2b2. For now, of course, you can remove any
blanks in enclosing directory names, if that isn't too inconvenient.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
