Rev creates a backup file when it saves (with the same name as the
file being saved, plus a ~ added to the end of the name), to prevent
trashing the file if there's a problem during the save process. When
the ~ file is saved, the original file is removed and the saved ~
file is renamed to the original file's name.
This error sounds like it can't create the backup file.
Is it possible that the path is too long or contains diacritical
characters? (I think there was a known bug with this reported the
other day.) I'd experiment with moving the stacks to another folder -
closer to your home directory level and with no diacriticals or long
folders names - and see whether that fixes it for the moment.
