Issue
The RSA SecurID TokenConverter cannot write to output file.
Cause
If a system has certain hardening applied, the -o option needs to include the full path to the .txt file, not just a filename in the Java command.

Usage:
TokenConverter <tokenfilename> [-f] [-o filename] [-p password] [-v version]

An example for TokenConverter 2.6.1  (non-java version):
TokenConverter.exe tokenfile1.sdtid -o c:\temp\tokenfile.txt

An example for TokenConverter 3.0 (Java version):   
java  -jar  TokenConverter.jar  c:\temp\tokenfile2.sdtid  -o c:\temp\tokenfile2.txt
Resolution
Use the full file path when pointing to the text file.
