Found it:

The rename function used to move the temporary dbf file to the correct 
filename of the table does not work correctly in windows, as it does not 
allow to rename to an existing file:

"The rename function renames the file or directory specified by oldname 
to the name given by newname. The old name must be the path of an 
existing file or directory. The new name must not be the name of an 
existing file or directory"

So we'll need to find another function to use here.

Glynn, any hints ?
