Armory is giving the wrong account permissions to the bitcoin.conf file.

The problem is that there are 2 craig accounts on this windows computer. One is a domain account "domain\craig", and the other is a local account "computer\craig". Because armory is unspecific when telling windows which account to give permissions to, windows is defaulting to the local account, which is not the account running armory.

Rather then using the name of the account, armory should use the SID of the account as they are unique. This will avoid any problems with names.
