AccessDeniedException (which is an IOException) is confusing, it's just 
the translation of the "Access Denied" error that we get from Windows. 
There are a few subtle issues to deal with but I think something is 
possible. As I noted in the bug, we would prefer to keep this as a 
separate issue as it requires changes in a different area of the code.
