Christian,

I would carefully review permissions to see if that might be the issue.
I have stepped through the code and confirmed this is the sort of error
you get if you don't have read permissions on a file.  You might want to
file a ticket on this, so we can improve the reporting of errors related
to permissions.

Best regards,
