The problem is probably that you don't have a '/tmp' directory. WinXP
doesn't create a directory structure to match a file path specification. If
you first create the '/tmp' directory (which is a directory off the root of
your hard drive on WinXP, so that if your current directory is on a D:
drive it would be D:\tmp), then your code would work.
