/writeini is giving me an 'error accessing file' error when creating a new file.

It does create the file, and it adds the [section] and item=data, but then it gives the error and halts. This only seems to happen if the file doesn't exist.

(newfile.ini doesn't exist yet):
/writeini newfile.ini section item data
* /writeini: error accessing file 'F:\MIRC\newfile.ini'

//write -c blank.ini | writeini blank.ini section item data
- works.

Win98, mIRC v6.3 -- someone with XP SP2 said he didn't get the error.
