Hello,

does anyone knows why my ClearCase MakeElement Action fails?

Starting Directory:   
Command Line: mkelem -ci -mkpath -nwarn -nc "X:\OC100\_SuDTest\Demo-Laptop\demo\vicos\Testanlage\GUIDO.zip"  
Checking out parent directory "X:\OC100\_SuDTest\Demo-Laptop\demo\vicos\Testanlage".  
cleartool: Warning: Unable to move private data from "X:\OC100\_SuDTest\Demo-Laptop\demo\vicos\Testanlage\GUIDO.zip" (Permission denied); new element may be eclipsed.  
Created element "X:\OC100\_SuDTest\Demo-Laptop\demo\vicos\Testanlage\GUIDO.zip" (type "file").  
cleartool: Error: INTERNAL ERROR detected and logged with the NT Event Service.

Hi Sven,   
  
 Not sure, sorry. Hopefully some of the other ClearCase users will have some ideas. :).
