When you find a case that fails via a drive letter, use SysInternal's
Process Monitor to examine which path the QueryVolumeInformation
(FsFullSizeInfo) query is being issued against.   My guess is that you
are going to find that the query is being issued against a volume that
is not the volume the application is trying to write to.
