MAREO - FLAC: mystery error code 1

Anyone know what this is about?  The following error occurs every time I use MAREO to call FLAC.

Code: [Select]
ERROR initializing encoder
state = FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_ERROR_OPENING_FILE


The wave file exists, and I know it is not corrupt, because oggenc does fine with it, and so does FLAC if I use the Speek frontend instead of MAREO. 

Here's a sample output.

Code: [Select]
*** Received Command Line ***

"F:\Archivos de programa\eac\mareo.exe" EAC "Today is the Day.wav" "f:\ogg\Ttmp!
2-29.wav" "f:\ogg\Ttmp!2-29.ogg" "Yo La Tengo" "Today is the Day EP" "Today is t
he Day" "1" "2003" "Rock"

*** Parsed Parameters ***

  @program@ (%1) = EAC
@finalname@ (%2) = Today is the Day.wav
   @source@ (%3) = f:\ogg\Ttmp!2-29.wav
     @dest@ (%4) = f:\ogg\Ttmp!2-29.ogg
   @artist@ (%5) = Yo La Tengo

 @songname@ (%7) = Today is the Day
    @track@ (%8) = 1
     @year@ (%9) = 2003
    @genre@(%10) = Rock


Ogg encodes successfully.  Then,

Code: [Select]

Edit: I don't know if it's of any consequence, but I noticed the options are different when I use Speek's frontend on the same file.  They are

MAREO - FLAC: mystery error code 1

I guess that happens when you ask FLAC to write to a directory that doesn't exist yet.  I inserted a command before the FLAC encoding to create that directory, and now it works.
