I cannot create an encrypted disk image. I have searched through the discussion forums here but have not found an answer. After I select the name, location, image format, encryption and I hit save, I get an error that says 'Unable to create '[file name].dmg'. (Resource busy)'. I've tried different locations, image format and encryption, but I keep getting the same message. Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.
NB: I want to create the disk image so that I can encrypt a few files with sensitive information. I do not want to use filevault, as I understand that it has downsides (e.g., free space needed to turn on and off, and backup with TM).

Create Encrypted Disk Image. Make sure you do NOT check the Remember password in my keychain box. If you enter the password correctly, the image will be mounted like a drive and if you chose read/write for the Image Format, then you can add or remove items from the encrypted image just like a normal drive.
