Mike Nistor from Mathworks Technical Support was able to help resolve this. It appears to be due to interference from anti-virus software. Although I am not able to disable the anti-virus, we were able to switch the target directory to removable media which is not as closely watched by the anti-virus. kudos to Mike for all his help. I hope this posting helps others.
