Worse of all is that the disks are correctly mounted, and that from the command line I can do things like ls, even create and remove files. Only from within lapw1para it gives me an error. I am starting to insert lines with calls to unix utilities such as whoami in order to see what weird thing is going on there...<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">It is a system problem. Maybe the relevant disc is not mounted on the<br>
remote node or something? Try doing a simple ssh to the node and test<br>
things like ls, cd etc. Too many possibilities to list here. Good<br>
luck, just try computer experiments until you track it down.....<br>
