The account running the database (sounds like oracle for you) needs unix permissions to write to the unix directory in question. Within the database your account (seems like usr_1) would need to have the oracle system privilege CREATE ANY DIRECTORY
Of course, you have to consider that you are then taking datab out of the database and writing it in a plain file. Does this breach your security rules? Who else will be able to see the data? is there anything client on company confidential in it (e.g. bank accounts, contact details, medical stuff, corporate statements or financial investments etc.)
This latter point is not for me to draw a conclusion about because I don't know what business you are in, but we all have to consider the risks of exposing data, even to people we trust.
