here's my 2 cents :
1) you may be the owner of the file,
but not the owner of the destination directory ;
2) either the source or destination is an nfs-mounted filesystem,
and root may not be allowed to access that f.s. ;
good luck, and success !

The permissions on the file are -rw-r--r-- and I am the owner of the file and it fails. Also, if I try to do it as root I get the same error.
My OS is AIX 5.3 TL 5. Anyone see this before?
Thanks.
