tmpnam is said to create a temporary file in the current directory. If

From a quick glance through the code it could also be that you will see
the behavoir, that you describe.
In the current directory, or in %temp% (or whatever Windows uses for the
standard user temporary directory)? There's no reason to assume you can
write to the directory containing the VSS file, but you should always have
rights to create files in %temp%.
My Linux man page for tmpnam says it creates the name in the directory
specified by P_tmpdir, defined in stdio.h. For Linux this is /tmp.
I just looked at my VS2005 setup and P_tmpdir is defined as the root
directory:
#define P_tmpdir "\\"
This is Bad, as a well-administered system won't give ordinary users write
permission to the root of a drive. We'll have to see if there's some
portable way to refer to the user's desired temporary directory.
