Did you check to see if the NT account the Perforce service is running under also has write access to your z:\journal file? (Control panel | services | perforce service | startup)

I'm running perforce as a service on Windows NT.

My server was running fine when the journal was being written to the server root.

I permanently set the P4JOURNAL system variable to an empty file a mapped drive -- z:\journal

I shut down the service with 'net stop perforce' and restarted it in a new Command Prompt:

net start perforce

The journal was still being written to the server root.

So I restarted my machine. Now, when I run any perforce commands, such as p4 info, I only get the following message:

open for write: z:\journal: Access is denied

I can access and edit the (empty) z:\journal file from my machine, but perforce apparently cannot.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
