Another thought...

[John Esak]

As I think about it, and because Jim Asman brought it up... :-)  Your
problem is likely not setperms, but PATH.... or a combination of both.

Make sure the /etc/default/fppath file is correct. This means, if you had
before on your old system,

/u/appl

/u/appl

and it worked fine. This is because you did not have a separate (mounted)
hard drive for the /u filesystem. The /u filestyem was actually on the first
hard drive (along with /).  If, on your new system, you actually do have a
second hard drive, but are still using /u/appl scheme, then the
/etc/default/fppath file must look like this:

/u/appl
/u
/appl

I know it isn't a big differnce, beccause the 2nd and 3rd lines get combined
to point to the files... but it is significantly different.

In any case, therein probably is your problem. If this is the answer, thank
Jim for bringing it up to me in the FP Room. We were just mentioning the
list and I'm on a machine that doesn't have any of JP's or your email. So
hopw this works.

P.S. - The idea is that the second line of /etc/default/fppath must be the
"mount point" of the file system you are using, i.e., /u.
