vbe is correct to ask for ownership and permissions on /opt/test.
Just a little background, any time you create a new file or directory UNIX/Linux sets the ownership to the user id and group id of the user creating the file. The permissions that vbe mentions are if you can read, write, or execute the file. These are set to a default value that is part of your environment.
Here is a few commands that you might be interested in:
chown - changes the ownership of a file for user id.
chgrp - changes the ownership of a file for group id.
chmod - permission of files.
umask - default permissions for newly created files.
Hope these helps, let me know if I have helped.

MKDIC(1) General Commands Manual MKDIC(1)
NAME
mkdic - Tool for creating a user dictionary
SYNOPSIS
mkdic [{-cs|-cannaserver} canna-server] [-s] [- | -l local-file] remote-dic
DESCRIPTION
mkdic creates user dictionary named remote-dic in the user dictionary directory of the remote host, on which cannaserver(1M) is in opera-
tion. Dictionary file name remote-dic is assigned to this file at this time.
If the - and -l option isn't specified, mkdic creates an empty dictionary.
If the - option is specified, the standard input will be used as the dictionary file. If the -l option is specified, local-file will be
used as the dictionary file.
If the user dictionary directory does not exist, it will be created.
Dictionary directory file -- dics.dir -- is rewritten automatically after the registering. The registered dictionary can thus be used by
writing the dictionary name into the customize file.
OPTIONS
-cs canna-server (or -cannaserver canna-server)
Specifies the server machine that contains the dictionary to be created.
-s Indicates that the dictionary to be created is an adjunct dictionary. If this option is omitted, the dictionary will be cre-
ated as an independent-word one.
-l local-file
Registers the input data from local-file.
- The standard input will be used as the dictionary file.
EXAMPLES(1) If you want to creat an empty dictionary file:
% mkdic test(2) If you want to register the input data from the standard input:
% mkdic test -
Registers the input data from the standard input, in the user dictionary directory under dictionary name ``test''. The following line is
then added to dictionary directory file -- dics.dir -- :
user1.t(.mwd) -test-(3) If the dictionary file is specified:
% mkdic test -l test1.t
Registers independent-word dictionary file ``test1.t'' in the remote host's user dictionary directory under dictionary name ``test''. The
following line is then added to dics.dir:
user1.t(.mvd) -test-
user1.t is a dictionary file name generated automatically by the system.
