Glad you got it fixed... but... it seems strange that the -t bit as I know
it... (not really the sticky bit), would fix things up. I was going to
suggest it when I saw that your permissions did not include it, but I saw
Mark's reply which mentioned it in the next message.  However, like him, I
would have just commented that you need it and never would have thought that
could be "the" problem.

I was trying to think of why the -t bit would cause filePro any grief and I
can't work it out... unless maybe you were creating some other /tmp files
during the reports and filePro might not have the rights to overwrite them
each time. Nah, even something as strange as that doesn't make sense. I
don't really understand it... but I'm glad you're fixed.
