Thank you Dave, but it does not proceed.

I could write some files on this directory you mention. Curiously I found a pgpass.conf up there.

Would you have another suggestion my friend ?

Sure - grap a copy of filemon from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html, and recreate the error with it running. Hopefully it'll show exactly what file operation is failing.
