Check the permissions of the files, especially if you are trying to
get this working in a network and/or multiuser environment you might
need to do a little tweaking with your permissions and groups.

Also if your program gives a "DOS Error 8" (random number I made up,
BTW!) look that up it might help you figure out the real problem.
