Decrypting a gpg file with gnupg

[nickles]

I'm trying to decrypt some data from gpg files that I've downloaded. Downloading the files to a directory is no problem, but I'm having trouble actually decrypting them. Here's what I'm doing right now:

def extractGPGs(gpglist,path,gpgPath="\"C:\\Program Files\\GNU\\GnuPG\\gpg.exe\""):
    os.chdir(path)
    
    if not os.path.isdir("GPGFiles"):
        os.mkdir("GPGFiles")
    if not os.path.isdir("OtherFiles"):
        os.mkdir("OtherFiles")

    if gpglist == None:
        print "No GPG files found"
        return

    try:
        gpg = gnupg.GPG(gpgbinary=gpgPath)
    except:
        raise "Path to gpg.exe is bad"
        
    print "Extracting GPG Files..."
    
    for filename in gpglist:       
        
        print "Extracting %s..." % filename
        stream = open(filename,"rb")
        decrypted_data = gpg.decrypt_file(stream,output=".\\OtherFiles")
        stream.close()

    print "Finished Extracting GPG Files"

And here is the error that I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\downloadData.py", line 281, in <module>
    main(vendor,category)
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\downloadData.py", line 273, in main
    extractAndParse.main(info['LocalFolder'])
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\extractAndParse.py", line 147, in main
    extractGPGs(getGPGs(getAllArchives(path)),path)
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\extractAndParse.py", line 133, in extractGPGs
    decrypted_data = gpg.decrypt_file(stream,output=".\\OtherFiles")
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\gnupg.py", line 574, in decrypt_file
    os.remove(output) # to avoid overwrite confirmation message
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: '.\\OtherFiles'

Why am I getting this error, and, more importantly, how can I decrypt the gpg's?
