Error creating javax.microedition.rms.RecordStore in NetBeans 6.0

I am trying to write an application with J2ME that uses javax.microedition.rms.RecordStore

persistent data storage. I am developing this project in NetBeans 6.0 and J2ME 2.2 on Gentoo. When I try to run the project, I get an error because apparently the record store cannot be created. Here's a sample of the output, including the stack trace:

I found a link to what I think is the source RecordStore

where the exception is being thrown: http://jcs.mobile-utopia.com/jcs/78052_RecordStore.java . The relevant line is at the bottom at the bottom, basically like this:

try {
    ...
}
catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
    ...
    throw new RecordStoreException("error opening record store " + 
                                       "file");
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

so it says that an IOException is thrown when NetBeans tries to create a recordstore file. But why does this happen? The output, unfortunately, doesn't say why the creation of the record store doesn't work. Does anyone know what could be going wrong, or anything about how NetBeans handles RecordStore

internally?

Here's a constructor from my code that triggers the error, if it matters:

public StopRecordStore() throws RecordStoreException {
    this.store = RecordStore.openRecordStore("freqstops", true);
    if (store.getNumRecords() == 0) {
        try {
            byte[] collegeAllen = new StopRecord((short)1, "College & Allen").toBytes();
            store.addRecord(collegeAllen, 0, collegeAllen.length);
        }
        catch(IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        } // do nothing
    }
}
