The evidence points to the OS preventing access to the file. This could
even be something like a denial from a malware or virus scanner. There
is nothing more specific in the Erlang report, and the root cause is
unlikely to be RabbitMQ- or Erlang-specific. I suggest you use a process
of elimination to check whether there is any aspect of the environment
that may give rise to the error.
