The stats write to a temp file named xstats11.tmp. This file contains info based on every previous run so what has probably happened is that at some point you've changed a directory path &/or deleted a directory path for stats, xstats11.tmp still sees that path & tries to access & write to everything specified in it, this gives you the error. If you delete the file xstats11.tmp, it will be recreated the next time you run a prg w/ stats on & should not give that error. If you delete directory paths in the future of course you'll get the same error unless you once again delete xstats11.tmp.
