despite defining c:\t as my scratch space in ArcCatalog, I get a message that appears to be a permissions problem for \windows\system32 when running PathAllocation in python script and from toolbox/ArcCatalogarcpy.PathAllocation_sa("U:/Clusters2006/h99B99p30/h99B99p30_s","C:/t/PathAll_h99B1","U:/Clusters2006/imped_h/g99Bi30pir","#","#","BINARY 1 45","#","BINARY 1 -30 30","#","#","VALUE","#","#")

if I run the same thing on a machine that doesn't have a locked-down windows directory, it executes correctlyarcpy.PathAllocation_sa("U:/Clusters2006/h99b99p30/h99b99p30_s","C:/t/PathAll_h99b1","U:/Clusters2006/imped_h/g99bi30pir","#","#","BINARY 1 45","#","BINARY 1 -30 30","#","#","VALUE","#","#")

This doesn't happen with other spatial analyst items like: KernelDensity, Flow, Sink, and map math functions.what can I change?Thank you,Randy
