The specific error was this:=20

"Cannot open file pattype.tble"

This has to do with a software called Library World, where all of the =
files associated with the application is stored on the server so that a =
group of employees can access and work on them (ie every thing stays on =
the server). The group has a specific group permission that allows them =
full access to whatever's related to Library World on the server.

A check on the afs acl showed that they do indeed have full permissions =
to the above file and all related files. Our Sys Admin isn't in right =
now but he will be soon and I will have him check on the unix permission =
as well.=20

Users are running Mac OS X Tiger & Leopard.

Thanks,
Anh
