Is the Windows directory mounted? If the filesystem on the Windows partition is NTFS, you will need to investigate on FreeBSD's current ability to write to NTFS. Since I do not use NTFS, I am not able to answer FreeBSD's current ability to write to this filesystem.
According to
man mount_ntfs
Quote:
WRITING
There is limited writing ability. Limitations: file must be nonresident and must not contain any sparces (uninitialized areas); compressed files are also not supported. The file name must not contain multibyte characters.
