I seem to be having similar trouble - I assume this hasn't been resolved as 
I'm using Radiance 4.2.a.4 from 17 April 2014? 

I've tried a couple of workarounds, using "run as administrator" on the 
cmd.exe, Perl.exe, a shortcut.lnk for genklemsamp, and genklemsamp.pl 
itself. None seemed to work.

genklemsamp.pl -vp 50 0 25 -vh 80 -vv 40 -vd 0 -1 0 > samplerays_1.dat

The above in DOS cmd, creates the file samplerays_1.dat but it contains 0KB.

Any suggestions or developments on solving this? 
Thanks for any help,

Best,
Patrick
