I have had a similar (not compiler-related) problem on Vista which had me just as puzzled:
Details here: http://wildwinter.blogspot.com/2007/04/aaagh-vista.html But the basic result was that the problem was all to do with Vista's user account control; shadow-copying files unexpectedly. If you're on Vista, it might be something to do with that. If not - no idea, I'm afraid!
