i am invoking op from a python proggy which does an op.system() of

btw, have tested with same invocation directly from /bin/sh. same
result. i.e. it is not the python environment.

% ls -l /usr/local/etc/op.access
-r-------- 1 root wheel 149 Jan 13 07:41 /usr/local/etc/op.access

% cat /usr/local/etc/op.access
# 2007.01.13

#DEFAULT users=src
#
chown /usr/sbin/chown $* ; users=src
chmod /bin/chmod $* ; users=src
rsync /usr/local/bin/rsync $* ; users=src
#

% id
uid=1007(src) gid=1006(srctree) groups=1006(srctree)

clue bat, please


Let me recap, and you correct me when I'm wrong:

* you're running as UID 1007.
* the file is owned by root.
* you're trying to chmod it and it's failing.

Is that the situation so far?
