Usually, in creating a file, "No such file or directory" means that the
directory does not exist.  So, the most likely problem here seems to be
that the name of the directory is misspelled.  Could you make really
sure that it is correct?

This message seems like a genuine bug, but I cannot see how it would
happen.  I cannot reproduce it locally (on GNU/Linux), even when I
specify the name of a nonexistent directory as part of the outfile.
