rename() in b17.1 vs. b18

I reported earlier a problem with TinyMuck FuzzBall 5.55. It would generate
an 'access denied' error when dumping a database using the '@dump' command.
Well, i've narrowed it down to the rename() command in game.c of the Fb5.55
source (not that that would matter any). The following lines generate the error:
if (rename(tmpfile, dumpfile) < 0)
perror(tmpfile);
the error context is './data/minimal.new.#2#: Access Denied'
The only effect this error has on the program, is a failed database dump,
which are definately important to this program. In b17.1 this problem never
happened (it was a CR/LF problem - which i since fixed).. it seems i've
traded one error for another. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
