[GNC] Problems Accessing GnuCash Files on my D:\

[brob2684]

I've been saving my gnucash files to
D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash for a very long time, and
never had any issues.

Unfortunately, sometime in the past fortnight (not sure when, but that's the
last time I used GnuCash) something odd has gone on.

I can no longer open GnuCash files off my D:\ (or save files). However, if I
open the same file off my backup drive, it works flawlessly.

If I copy the file from my backup drive to my D:\, GnuCash doesn't work, but
it will continue to open files on my backup drive.

The error message I receive when opening a file from my D:\ is:
    The server at URL D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash
experienced an error or encountered bad or corrupt data.

A previous post suggested that it might be a permissions issue, but I have
given Everyone write permission to that folder on my D:\ and there's no
change in behaviour.

When attempting to save an opened file from my backup drive to my D:\
results in the following message:
    Gnucash could not obtain the lock file for
D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash. That database may be in
use by another user, in which case you should not save the database. Do you
want to proceed with saving the database?
    Selecting "Save" results in no file being saved.

The trace file doesn't seem to be helpful either. When opening I get:
		* 19:05:47  WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute
child process (No such file or directory)
		* 19:05:47  CRIT <gnc.backend.dbi> [error_handler()] DBI error: 14: unable
to open database file

When saving a file to the D:\, the trace contens are:
		* 18:44:23  WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute
child process (No such file or directory)
		* 18:57:19  WARN <gnc.backend> [GncXmlBackend::check_path()] Couldn't find
D:\Documents\<name>\Data\GnuCash\Balsheet.gnucash

There haven't been any new programs installed in the past three weeks, only
the standard Microsoft updates to Maps, Voice Recorder, et al, and an update
to Acrobat Reader.

I have no issues saving Microsoft Word files to the above path. Does anyone
have any suggestions as to what I might be able to try in order to rectify
the issue between GnuCash and my D:\ as it is really baffling me?

Thanks in advance,
brob2684
