OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

Dear all,

When I tried to build a case with compset BW1850 with version CESM2.1.1,
I got the following error.
Any idea about this?

./create_newcase --case /cluster/home/xiangyuli/cases/BW0624-SO2 --compset BW1850 --res f09_g17 --machine fram
./case.setup
./case.build

It wants to create file /cluster/work/users/xiangyuli/inputdata/cesm2_init/b.e20.B1850.f09_g17.pi_control.all.299_merge_v3waccm/0134-01-01.tmpbut it already exists.  Try again after removing it.  You can get input data with ./check_input_data --downlaod

Thanks a lot!
It worked after I removed the .temp files and did a fresh checkout.

I erased the
/scratch/b.day1.0/run/b40.1850.track1.2deg.003.cam.h0.PSL.000101-100012.nc
multiple times but it kept on showing:
os.symlink(cam2file, camfile)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

Is this a bug in the 'case.build' or in the python os module?
