Need help with Couldn't canonicalise: Permission denied error
Hi People
I am getting this error Couldn't canonicalise: Permission denied. Anyone knows what does this error mean ? It all started when my team members were testing Sftp functions on some directories and they were hitting directory no found errors within their scripts.
So when we enquired our unix administrator, he did a manual sftp on the commandline and when he tried to cd to that directory in question, that error in bold was encountered.However when we tried to cd to other directories on the same level. there was no problem.
Our current setup is a Solaris 10 OS and the directories we are accessing are on a certain mount point set up by our administrators and we were told to deploy our batch architecture in that mount point.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or have any resources/links which could help me further ?
regards
Wilson

xfm_dev
XFM_DEV(5) XFM XFM_DEV(5)
NAME
/etc/X11/xfm/xfm_dev - xfm device configuration
DESCRIPTION
When starting xfm(1) - the X file and application manager - reads this file to determine mount and umount commands for specific directo-
ries.
FORMAT
One entry per line. Lines starting with a hash (#) and empty lines are ignored. Each line consists out of three or four fields, separated
by colons (:). Backslashes and colons within those fields have to be escaped using backslashes.
FIELDS
directory
The first field describes which directory this entry is about. If this this directory or and child directory of this is opened, while no
other one is open, the mount command is executed. If the last file window showing this directory or a child thereof, the unmount command is
executed.
This field can also be the special string GETFSENT, which is described in a special paragraph below.
mount command
The second field is the command to execute for mounting. It is given the shell as one argument after a -c.
unmount command
The third field is the command to execute for unmounting. It is given the shell as one argument after a -c.
icon
The fourth field is optional. It is only used to specify an icon for the 0 No icon field is equivalent to an icon field containing
dev_disk.xpm, which differs from an empty icon field. (See xfm(5)).
automatic configuration via GETFSENT
If the first field of an entry is the special string GETFSENT, and the systen xfm was compiled on had a fstab.h file, the getfsent(3) func-
tion is used to get mount point information.
Every mount point which contains a mount option starting with user. (like user, or users) for which no specification does yet exists is
added to the list.
mount and unmount command
These commands are expanded with a space and the directory in question and the result is handled a in the normal case. This needs some
fixing with directories containing spaces.
icon field
The icon field can in this case be appended by an arbitrary number of rules of the form
,fstype=iconname
If the filesystem has type fstype, the icon iconname is used instead.
EXAMPLES
/media/cdrom:mount /media/cdrom:umount /media/cdrom:cdrom.xpm
/floppy:mount /floppy:umount /floppy
GETFSENT:mount:umount:dev_disk.xpm,iso9660=dev_cdrom.xpm,ext2=bla.xpm
FILES
$HOME/.xfm/xfm_dev
Unless otherwise specified in the X resources, this is the first location xfm looks for this file.
/etc/X11/xfm/xfm_dev
Unless otherwise specified in the X resources, this file is tried when the previous could not be read.
/etc/fstab
This is the file getfsent most likely gets its information from.
