<saxon:output> throws "NoSuchMethodError"

[Ron Chibnik <RChibnik at sapient dot com>]

Hi: 
First time poster to the list - apologies if this has been asked before - I
didn't see it in the archives.

Instant Saxon (version 5.5) throws a "NoSuchMethodError" on a <saxon:output>
statement when the target files don't already exist. If the target files
exist, they are successfully over-written.

The command line error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java/io/File: method
getParentFile()Ljava/io/File;not found
appears after the exception dialog.

Besides pre-creating the files (awkward w/ instant-saxon, possible if I do
the XSLT from java) is there any work-around or fix for this?

Thanks in advance
