I'm not using latexdaemon, but there is a long discussion about this
problem in its bug tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/latexdaemon/issues/detail?id=19

I can confirm that it is probably based on a miktex problem. The
following command works fine in miktex 2.8. but crashes (windows
crash) in 2.9. It looks as if synctex has a problem to rename its
output file - perhaps to new security options or due to a timing
problem. You should make a bug report in the miktex bug tracker.

Command (directory TeXAux exists):

I:\Z-Test>pdflatex -output-directory=TeXAux --synctex=1
test-utf8.tex


This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (MiKTeX 2.9)
entering extended mode
....

Output written on test-utf8.pdf (1 page, 11060 bytes).
SyncTeX: Can't rename
I:\Z-Test\TeXAux\test-utf8.synctex.gÌudb5bd2cfd03eb7c28c9c3792e070e850
to I:\Z-Test\TeXAux\test-utf8.synctex.gz
 

TeXAux contains at the end beside the normal files a file named
"test-utf8.synctex.gz(busy)"
