Cannot create a file when that file already exists

Platform: VC 7.0, NT4.0
Database: SQL Server 2000
Hi,
I created an in-proc server. It uses registry related function like
RegOpenKeyEx.
When I execute this COM object from Visual Basic it works fine.
When I execute same COM object from SQL Server Store procedure it files and
returns error like "Cannot create a file when that file already exists". May
I know why same code fails in case of SQL Server?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
VijayHi
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@.filename VARCHAR(300))
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.file_exists AS INT
EXEC master..xp_fileexist @.filename, @.file_exists OUTPUT
RETURN @.file_exists
END
GO
-- test
SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('d:\test1.txt')
