Error type 3 detected

I'm drilling a plate with counter bored holes. Generate a .nc file and when I go to post it I get this "Error type 3 detected". The error comes up right after I select a post. The post works on several other files so I don't think that is it.

Any thoughts?

    Found the problem.

    There was an "&" in the directory name. Removed this and all was well. Put it back inand posting failed.

    When you postprocess a file, a lot of other files are created. One of these is the <filename>.lst file. That file is a text file listing the execution of the postprocessor as it processes your <filename>.ncl file. If you scroll down through that file, you hopefully will be able to see where the processing error occured, or at least where processing stopped.

    I'm not familiar with "Error type 3", but then again, most of the error messages are pretty vague.

    It's giving the error before any files are created.
