regtool load gives access denied

I want to back up and restore some of my registry settings. I start a shell
with "Run as administrator", and regtool save seems to work fine for saving:
$ regtool save /HKCU/Software/SimonTatham/PuTTY/Sessions PuTTY.reg
$
However when I try to reload the saved settings, I get access denied:
$ regtool load /HKCU/Software/SimonTatham/PuTTY/Sessions PuTTY.reg
Error (5): Access is denied.
Does anyone know why this fails? I'm puzzled by this since I'm running in an
admin shell.
Thanks,
Andrew
