Yep, true - if your 'Temp.shp' is not a DIRECTORY within your documents 
folder.

What you and I call "shapefiles" is actually a group of 3 or more files 
that are needed by ESRI and other GIS products that use 'shapefile format'

For this reason you must specify the name of an existing directory, and 
not a filename that you want to create.

Are you sure the "other paths" you tried existed and were actually 
directory names?

HTH,
