Description

I've noticed an issue with Mahout 0.9 when running on Windows 7. Attempting to convert a sequence files to sparse vectors results in the error "Failed to set permissions of path: .... mahout\cote\target\mahout-SpareVectorsFromSequenceFilesTest...\hadoop...\mapred\staging\..."

Initially I encountered this issue in an eclipse project, but in attempting to build Mahout from source, the problem occurred while throughout many of the tests.

Further issues were noticed during ClusterClassification as a ThreadLeak occurs.
