Well, that's what I've tried. I've loaded the permissions up, 0777, and it
still throws the same error. I've also tried os.chmod(file, 0777) from the
script, and I get the same permissions error. I can do all of this from the
python prompt. I've set the ownership of the file attempting these commands
to root.root. Nothing works. Please advise.
