Thanks for the help.
@Typographer -

Its always good to know that a problem was resolved, its even better to know how - karma coming your way

Windows would not change it of its own accord, as I said too many applications use the temp. Something specific to Windows 8 is changing the permissions - which makes me think its a Windows 8 Metro App.

@TPTB - I wonder if this is worth adding to the calibre manual FAQ section
