Seems this is a drush problem. I reinstalled drush (on win) and now it works. Thanks Tony for your help.
You're welcome Tony.

Dear all,
Using DRUSH MAKE for the first time. I have generated a make file on my remote host and now want to "make" it on the local. I go to drive m: and say "Drush make makefilename" and what it does is install the files in c:/users/admin/appdata/local/temp. Where is the setting for the destination directory? And secondly why does make say
"M:\test>drush make loc.polamnew.com.make Make new site in the current directory? (y/n): y Source directory [error]
C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp/drush_tmp_1355464885_50cac0b5e900c/x *drupal-7.17 is not readable or does not exist.* Project drupal (7.17) could not be downloaded to [error] D:\test>drush make loc.polamnew.com.make Make new site in the current directory? (y/n): y Source directory [error]
C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\make_tmp_1355464883_50cac0b39a1bb/__bu ild__. "
which is probably related to the first question.
Any help much appreciated.
