Aha -

I mis-remembered my sys/errno.h - and hence didn't get the posix docs write.

$ grep -i perm /usr/include/sys/errno.h
 * the permission of UNIX System Laboratories, Inc.
 * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions
 *    without specific prior written permission.
#define EPERM           1               /* Operation not permitted */
#define EACCES          13              /* Permission denied */

got it now. Ok. Will fix - tomorrow.

aarrgghh!

ok.
