It sounds like you are hiding the node from yourself!

Make sure your method is "run as admin". Or get the order of commands such that you remove your permissions last of all.

Thank you, mrogers.

Yes, that's most likely what's happening. And now I realize that is actually what I was about to do when the upload happens under non-admin user - I would make the document unreachable for the last page of the wizard, which would again result in the same error… So it seems there's no way for me to "clean" the document right away, I will have to mark it somehow and delete it later.

Which brings me to a question, is there way to tell whether my executeImpl has been triggered via CIFS or whether I'm in the middle of the wizard…? (Within CIFS I could safely clear the document.)
