I encountered the same problem (file not found or no read permissions' even though I have read/write privileges on the file according to the value of my file.attributes property).

As Raymond said, the problem was that I had an open reference to the .zip folder in the file variable that I created (which had a lock on the folder so I could not copy any contents to it). The solution is to call

file.Close();

after writing to the file, that way we can access the file to copy contents to it :)
