Sounds like security/file creation issues.
Who owns the directory, and what's the security on it ?
What privileges are you running with, and what happens when you turn 
them off ? (particularly BYPASS, which will allow you to create files 
owned by someone other than yourself).

A new version of an existing file would normally inherit its security 
from the existing, which wouldn't usually be allowed for normal users, 
if they didn't own the original.

I've not played with nodict, but I know PH normally gets upset if it 
finds a subfile with a missing dictionary part, or vice versa.

If you can pre-delete the subfile, or overwrite or append the existing, 
rather than creating a new version, it may work better.

If you have cmkrnl priv, you could try
"$ set watch file/class=(maj,dir)" to see what's going on at the file 
system level.
