Start by checking that the file and the whole path it describes exists, and that the necessary access permissions apply to the whole path. if this is a network share, you will need to ensure that write access for the connection user is available as well.

Then check the app user: depending on how your app runs, it may not be the same user you would normally apply. For example, a Service does not run under a standard user account and can't access user data unless specifically permitted to.

If all of that looks right, then start looking to see if the file is already open - is there an exclusive lock on the file elsewhere in your app that hasn't been closed, or is some other app accessing the file at the same time? Does this occur every time, or the second time you do something, or ... you know the drill.

Sorry, but we can't help you - this requires access to your system that we just don't have; a tiny fragment of code is nowhere near enough!
