Your code seems correct. Since I don't use windows, I can't help you much 
there. Seeing your commented out puts makes clear you already checked the file 
names were correct (I'd also try with p rather than puts, to see the raw 
string, just in case). Does the error happen for all files, or just for some 
of them? Also, when you say you tried changing permissions, did you try only 
on the files or also on the directory itself (provided that directories can 
have permissions on windows. It's been some years since I last made serious 
use of windows, so I don't remember)?
