When I use XSLWRITE to insert data in an existing excel file the operation
fails if the temp folder is on a different windows drive as the target file.
In my case %TEMP% points to a directory on drive C while drive Z is linked to
a network drive mapping a folder on my drive C. That means it looks like a
network connection to windows, but it isn't.


Saving data to file "z:/testdir/myexcelfile.xlsx" ...
mv: inter-device move failed: './myexcelfile.zip' to
'z:/testdir/myexcelfile.xlsx'; unable to remove target: Invalid argument
