Not to beat a dead horse but running as "Administrator" under Windows does
not afford you all the same benefits and permissions that running as
"root" under Linux/Unix does.  You can check if the directory in question
is accessible by "Administrator" using 'getfacl' on that directory.  You
can also check the permissions on the security tab in Windows to make sure
that the "Administrator" has access either directly or through inheritance
from its parent directory.  I point this out because on my machine
"Administrator" doesn't have access to my home directory.

Glad you were able to find a solution that meets your need.
