The Answers
Q. When importing a database why do I get "Failed to make directory XXXX" error?
A. If you get the following error when trying to import a database it is probably due to now having access to the file system;
import:
Import Directory /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/babar/dist/releases/6.0.2/database/export
Import Name BaBarRef
Boot file /nfs/objyserv1/u3/ec/stage/objy/XXXX/BaBar
FDDB /nfs/objyserv1/u3/ec/stage/objy/XXXX/BaBar.FDDB
AMS Server objyserv1.slac.stanford.edu
Lock Server objyserv1.slac.stanford.edu
FDDB ID 25865
making /nfs/objyserv1/u3/ec/stage/objy/XXXX
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/nfs/objyserv1/u3/ec/stage/objy/XXXX";
Permission denied
import: mkdir /nfs/objyserv1/u3/ec/stage/objy/XXXX failed - fatal error
At SLAC the usual reason for this is not working from a farm machine, which are the only ones that have access to this filesystem.
