Cause
The exact cause is not known but it all comes down to how the truezip library and how it is using the Windows ACL to the export directory.
Resolution
The username running Bamboo must be a member of the 'Users' group if this group is in the ACL of the export directory. Alternatively the 'Users' group can be removed all together from the ACL as this group is not required there.
