IOError, can't work out what's going wrong

[Josh Holland]

Hi list,

Just today, my hard disk filled up and offlineimap stopped working. Fair
enough, I thought, cleared some old cruft and fired it up again. But
it's still presenting the same error.

It's not immediately critical, as it still seems to pick up some mail,
but it's crashing before it gets a chance to do the whole lot, and not
managing to get through a whole run before autorefresh kicks in, so I'm
having to run it manually whenever I want it checked.

Here is the traceback:

Thread 'New msg sync from archive-2011-01' terminated with exception:

    file = open(self.filename + ".tmp", "wt")
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/home/josh/.offlineimap/Account-Main/LocalStatus/archive-2011-01.tmp'

This is with offlineimap 6.2.0 from the Ubuntu 10.10 repositories; I
would test with the version from git master if it was working currently.

Thanks,
