neo4j apoc.export.csv permission denied error

Question

I am trying to use apoc.export.csv

My query is as follows:

call apoc.export.csv.query("MATCH (a) Return id(a) limit 5", "test.csv", {} )

but i get this error:

Failed to invoke procedure 'apoc.export.csv.query': Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: test.csv (Permission denied)

I have the following set in neo4j.conf

apoc.export.file.enabled=true dbms.security.procedures.whitelist=apoc.export.*

any hints would be appreciated

exporting to /tmp/filename worked!
