I can't spot anything immediately obvious about the output path. If you search desktop help the error code states:

Description

The output cannot be created. Potential reasons include data locking, an incorrect path, and limited access rights.

Solution

Confirm that the data is not locked by another user or application and that you have full rights to the workspace being used. Check to make sure that the path to the data is correct (check for typos in the folder path). Try creating the output in a new location.

I would start with say writing to a local c:\temp to confirm that its not a write permissions issues, if that works it would suggest the data has an issue. Try running the clip tool by itself with those datasets to see if the error occurs then?
