There was once the story of a man who was lost at sea and when he reached land, he asked the first person he saw, "Excuse me, sir, what is the name of this land?" But in their language, those exact sounds meant a terrible threat and the man was jailed. Not a true story but an example of what happens when there's a language barrier. I, for one, do not believe that anyone had the intention of being rude on this list.

It sounds to me as if there is a permissions problem on the files in question. Something similar happened to me a while back when I set up a repo where the files were stored on a NAS box.

Did someone post the details of how it was resolved in a way that would
be helpful to others?
