GEMDOS_EACCDN looks right for me because we are on the file level, whereas
GEMDOS_EWRPRO works on the device level.

I found that when trying to write an error code is returned, but HDDRUTIL
doesn't yet display an error message. I have fixed that.

An option to enable the timestamp handling would be useful.
