Problems with Write to File in WIndows?

Hi all. 

I am having a serious issue here with Write to file. I have this snippet of code running in a repeat loop in Windows. 

      -- if no errors then write file to disk
      if pDataA [tKey] ["message"] is empty then
         open file tFullPath for binary write
         write tFileData to file tFullPath
         put the result into tResult
         close file tFullPath
         wait 100 milliseconds with messages
         if not there is a file tFullpath then \
               breakpoint
         if tResult is empty then
            put "SUCCESS! File transferred." into pDataA [tKey] ["message"]
            put tFilePath into pDataA [tKey] ["rfafilepath"]
         else 
            put true into pDataA ["error"]
            put tResult into pDataA [tKey] ["message"]
         end if
      else
         breakpoint
      end if

The code never breaks at the breakpoints, but if I go back and look for the files, only the folders exist, NOT the files I wrote! Note that I check for the existence of the file and breakpoint if it doesn’t exist, and it doesn’t break, meaning the file exists, but it isn’t there! 

The crazy thing is if I go back through the same set of files and step through the code in the loop ALL THE FILES END UP BEING SAVED!!!!!

Is there some kind of timing issue here?????
