Each time the batch file is launched svchost.exe tries to access the file, if it doesn't release it's file locks quickly enough then when java attempts to create a new file it fails with AccessDeniedException. In procmon this was showing up as a "DELETE PENDING" result, followed by svchost.exe getting the same result at least twice then giving up. Disabling that service allowed me to run my filesystem tests unpatched without failing.

Ah, the mysteries of Windows. The test looks fine.
