[Moin-user] Permission errors when editing an underlay page on win32

[Thomas Waldmann]

> Windows XP SP2

This might be a platform problem as it doesn't happen on Linux.

This is the destination dir of a copypage() that copies a whole pagedir 
from underlay directory to data directory.

> filesys.copytree = <function copytree at 0x007F0C30>, src = 
> r'd:/mystuff/webstuff/wiki/underlay\pages\FortuneCookies', dst = 
> r'd:\mystuff\webstuff\wiki\mywiki\pages\FortuneCookies'

Above you see src and target of MoinMoin.filesys.copytree.

The \ and / are a bit mixed, doesn't it matter on Win32?

It looks like the call in line 58 is failing on Win32.

What filesystem do you use? NTFS or FAT(32)?

If it is FAT32, could you try if it works on NTFS?
