Apart from the forward slashes / back slash issue, note that if the 
place
to save something is

    /Users/graham.temple/Desktop/New folder/

or indeed anything starting with a slash (or backslash) it means that 
path
on the current disk drive... because there's no A:\ or B:\ or C:\ ... at 
the
start.

Something else you'd done might have changed the "current drive" to U:\, 
and
many commands would ok with that because they'd work out for themselves 
which
drive to use (and choose C:\ perhaps because that's (probably) where you 
have
Windows installed).  But when some process comes along that uses the 
definition
you provide and that definition is vague (no specific drive mentioned) 
what
happens depends on consequences of previous commands.

When you tried to change it to

  /C:/Users/graham.temple/Desktop/New folder/

that meant - because it started with a slash - a folder called

  "/C:/Users/graham.temple/Desktop/New folder/"

which is an illegal folder name because after that first slash there's 
colons
present, which are expected to be at the front after a disk letter.  It 
would
probably have worked fine if you'd actually used

  C:/Users/graham.temple/Desktop/New folder/

ie no initial slash.

This is not a g_ip problem, as such.
