problems creating war file

i am having issues deploying my spring app to tomcat 7 with the following error:

C:\Users\xxxxxx\Work\Online Racing League\build.xml:61: Problem creating war: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\Online Racing League.war (Access is denied) (and the archive is probably corrupt but I could not delete it)

Here is what my build.properties looks like:

# Ant properties for building the springapp

appserver.home=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 7.0
# for Tomcat 5 use $appserver.home}/server/lib
# for Tomcat 6 use $appserver.home}/lib
appserver.lib=${appserver.home}/lib/

deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps

tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager
tomcat.manager.username=
tomcat.manager.password=
