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
