[R] difficulties with the save.image() function

Dear list,

I've had difficulty saving my workspace to an .RData file.
This causes considerable frustration as it means that I have to regenerate
my analysis every time I want to update it.  For microarray data in
particular, this can be quite time consuming.

I'm saving my data to a network folder on my system in Windows XP, something
like an "H:\" drive or a "P:\" drive instead of a "C:\" drive.

Here is the command which saves my workspace to my working directory:
save.image("H:/Consulting/cmlExprA.RData")
And here is the error I get:
Error in save(list = ls(envir = .GlobalEnv, all.names = TRUE), file =
outfile,: error writing to connection

Any assistance?

Many thanks,
