Here's the behavior I see on a customized linux-beta37a ...

I have Output_File_Name=/povfiles/ so when I say either +GSstats.txt or
Statistic_File=stats.txt I get a file written to /povfiles/stats.txt

When I change +GS or Statistic_File to /tmp/stats.txt I get the error,
but when I removed the Output_File_Name option the file is written to
/tmp/stats.txt ... Re-added Output_File_Name AND did mkdir /povfiles/tmp
and all was OK fine.

From your post it appears that you're using the Output_File_Name option
... just a guess, but is that so?

Jim
