"p" as in "paranoid". From the tex sources for the opennameok() function:

   We default to "paranoid".  The error messages from TeX will be
   somewhat puzzling...

What you can do is to transmit the value "a" (as in all) or "r" (as in 
restricted) for openout_any to tex via an environment variable, for 
example directly on the command line:

  env openout_any=r pdflatex File1

or more globally in the shell environment:

  export openout_any=r
  pdflatex File1
