There *may* not be any unless you have YTMAINT generating a high scores
bulletin.

Are all of your dos doors in the \ele\doors\dosdoors directory?

Do you have only one YT game running?

I used to keep all my doors in one directory but eventually ran into issues
after I added a few doors.  Now they are all kept in separate directories
just in case two games happen to use the same file name.

I saw in a follow-up message that you tried running YTMAINT manually and it
still gave you the error.  With YT, I do know that there are instances
where a value (like a user's score or the Xanor's score) will grow too
large and YTMAINT will stop working.  That *does* require a game reset to
fix it.  I do not remember the error message it gives, though, but I don't
think it is an error regarding path or file violation errors.

If you have run out of options to fix it, a reset or reinstall might be the
only options left unfortunately.
