Cannot utime: Operation not permitted

Hi - I have a script (.ksh) which has been transferred from one Linux box to another. Basically it untars a file a deploys the code to the relevent directories. It is failing with ' Cannot utime: Operation not permitted'

When I run the command by hand it *is* doing the untar to the directories but for each directory I get the message as above. The files are extracted but they are all set to r only

Any one have any ideas

Any advice or guidance would be most appreciated

Alastair

It'll be the tarball or your local version of tar. The tarball is trying to set a file attibute that you dont have permission to set. Try checking out your tar manpage to find a flag to work silently.
