Consider not using Java preferences and don’t store preferences in dot file

We should catch this exception and give a better error message to indicate the problem.

Add a better error message

Fiona OShea 2007-06-08

Can we reproduce this issue?

Hung Huynh 2007-06-08

This is known hardware problem. We can’t run on shared network drive. Set data and logs folder in tc-config.xml to point to local folders instead (ie, /tmp )
