strange.

have the sys admin unmount the file system and make sure the mount point permissions are 755 and then have him remount it. see if the error goes away then.

root is required. The sys admin should how to do this.

for example say your file system is /usr/blah

Code:
unmount /usr/blah
ls -ld /usr/blah  # make sure these permissions are 755
