> When running
> {{mvn release:prepare -Dusername=<perforce_user> -Dpassword=<perforce_password>}}
> I get the errors:
> * java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
> * [ERROR] CommandLineException Exit code: 1 - Usage: add/edit/delete [-c changelist#] [ -d -f -k -n -v ] [-t type] files...
> Missing/wrong number of arguments.
> * [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.3.1:prepare (default-cli) on project root-project: Error writing POM: D:\Server\pom.xml (Access is denied) -> [Help 1]
> The full output is attached.
> Sometimes I also get the error:
> * [ERROR] D:\Server\pom.xml - file(s) not in client view.
> Though I created the client in the same location I'm running from, and I'm not sure that error is related to the others (as the others also occur when that one doesn't).
> It's been suggested (on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10999403/maven-releaseprepare-ioexception) that the error has to do with my D drive being a mapped drive, though I don't think it is as it's not listed if I run {{subst}}. However, I think it _must_ be at least a partition on the same hard drive, unless my PC has three physical drives :P (work PC), but I guess that shouldn't make any difference to the program?
