I may be barking up the wrong tree but my understanding is that your plugin's 
`htdocs` is not a real folder, so you cannot write to it (it is a convenience 
internal redirect into the contents of your egg file)...

I have stored a similar file in the `attachments` folder but that was a data 
file read only by the plugin.  You would probably need to provide your own 
sub-path of your plugin interface that returns the data file in an appropriate 
way.

In another case, I used a configurable path in the plugin conf so that the 
server admin could setup a secure accessible area (may need extra apache conf 
to allow the download).

Hope that helps,
