Hmm, well I didn't figure it out exactly but I had my configuration as 
follows:

c:\nodex>npm config list
; cli configs

; userconfig C:\Users\u0123444\.npmrc
cache = "c:\\projects\\npm"
prefix = "c:\\projects\\npm_global"
tmp = "c:\\projects\\npm_temp"

; builtin config C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\npmrc

; node install prefix = C:\Program Files
; node bin location = C:\Program Files\nodejs\\node.exe
; cwd = c:\nodex
; HOME = C:\Users\u0123444
; 'npm config ls -l' to show all defaults.


When I set cache to c:\nodex then I no longer get the error. 

Best Regards,
Bryan Rasmussen
