I would expect to find some conflict like the one you've already sought. In addition to looking for files like "c:\documents" , have you looked for a conflict with "c:\documents and settings\jww\application" ?
The fact that it worked at some point and has stopped makes me suspect that a conflicting file has appeared in one of these locations. We'll fix this problem in a future release. Let me know how things work out for you so we can be sure to address the problem you're seeing, if it turns out to be something new.
