Is sys$scratch pointing to a directory that exists & is writeable ?
Not seen this error myself, but it looks like the directory is either 
missing or protected, or possibly the old version of the file (which 
you're about to 'mask' by creating a new version) is protected from your 
ownership, writing, or deleting - when you create a new version it 
inherits most of the attributes, which can be a problem if the original 
belongs to someone else.
I'd recommend pointing sys$scratch somewhere clean, empty, and writeable.
The other thing to watch for with PH is .sf files with missing .sfd 
files, or vice versa.
