Likely a permission problem.. '.set errorInfo' should give more details (check the faq if you don't have '.set' enabled.)

Since this is not a tcl-error, errorInfo will not hold any relative information.
But basically, there's three posibilities:

1. You've chosen a location for your channel-file where you do not have write permissions
2. There already exists a file with that path/name, but you don't have write permissions (similar, but not identical to 1.)
3. You've run out of filespace quota

You'll need to post your config settings regarding channelfile for us to be able to have any better guesses at your problem.

thanks seems to be fine now ..

in the config file .. i did not set a absolute path ..
with an absolute pass to a correct location with right permissions it seems to work ..

thanks nml375 and rosc2112
