What user is the program run as and what is it trying to access? In the past I found it a rather enlightening experiment when I opened a shell as that user (eg with su, I believe -s could pass a custom shell in case it's set to /bin/false) and tried to access these files. You should be familiar with what ls -l returns and chmod/chown? cheers! mar77i
