Eric,

I believe it does have a home directory it can write to (note: this is a
windows 2000 machine).  If I go to the Agents view under System tab, and
click on the build agent and then the Variables tab, I can see entries for
the home directory under both "sys" and "env".

As an aside, if I try the linux convention of "cd ~", I get a cannot find
the path specified.
