If you invoke file-attributes one the file that gets "permission
denied", what do you see? That is, type
M-: (file-attributes "c:/Users/dpkatz/tmp/ange-ftp2644_Lx" 'string) RET
what does Emacs show as result? (Replace the name of the temporary
file with the one that is actually shown in the backtrace.)
