Description

I've seen this problem with 1.5.6, 1.5.7, and 1.6-beta-2.

Occasionally I am seeing a IOException "Access is denied" during <groovyc>.

The stacktrace mentions java.io.IOException: Access is denied at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) when the groovy compiler is trying to create a temp dir (FileSystemCompiler.createTempDir).

I put code in to look for an exception that says "java.io.IOException: Access is denied". If it happens, I have it retry. I think it usually passes the second time.

An improvement would be to keep this from happening or to retry when it happens.

Here are interesting parts of the stacktrace:
