I originally got this error after installing the yahoo game "TradeWinds 2". It's
available at http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/tradewinds2.html . From
running wine with debugging on the errors I get are:

It looks as if it's trying to create a file, and cannot for some reason.
Permissions are all fine, there shouldn't be any problems except perhaps that
the file name contains a space or nonprinting character (the first character)
and it also begins with a dash.

Dunno if it helps, but I also found this much older bug complaining about the
same issue with another program (Civ 3 I think it was) looking for the exact
same file though, which seems highly suspect.

Anyway, the original bug was 2705
