Project Building problems

Hello all,
I've been experiencing problems with the "Build Project" operation in TGBs File menu and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
After analyzing the game and specifying the release directory when I build the game it gives me a "Critical Error" and says the packager can't recover from it.
It's always a "Cannot copy file" error. The file it can't copy is random. Some times its a png sometimes its a dso but it always fails.
I've looked at the directories it tries to creates and they're all 'read-only' which I find strange.
Anyone, know what I'm doing wrong?

All the examples build just fine. So I'm not sure what is causing this. It justs says Failed copying file.
'Failed copying file: Colony_5/release/Colony_5/data/tilemaps/forestSanc.lyr'
Colony_5 being the game project I created and forestSanc one of the tilemaps I created.
Any ideas?

Well, I tried moving the installation somewhere else and it still won't build. It always gets stuck on my .lyr file. When I set up the project I took all the default directories. All the examples build just fine. So I'm not sure what is causing this. It justs says Failed copying file.

Ok, fixed it. The problem was I had zipped up my game into a zip file with the same name as my project. And the project analyzer searched through the files in there. bleh!
