it's probably permissions then...the service account does not have access to the C:\ drive.
if you change it to just the file name , without the C:\, the file would get created in one of the folders under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn, for example...your specific path would depedn on your installation.
