          <div>Hello Mike,</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>please check also the permissions on file system level at
            the top directory with "ls -ldh ../data". The directory
            needs an execution permission bit. You might wonder: why
            won’t the write permission work without an execute
            permission on the directory? This is because of the fact
            that you can only retrieve the permissions of a directory
            when its execute bit is set. If it is not set, the OS won’t
            know whether it actually has the write permission.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>About the filter settings, they are saved in
            /spider/filter/spots for each user as a file "username.pl"
            so in my case in that directory I see files like DD5XX.pl,
            KE4KY-1.pl, and so on ... you could also check those files
            and the directory permission /spider/filter</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>The permissions on my file system looks like that:</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>ls -ldh /spider/filter/spots</div>
          <div>drwx------ 2 foo users 4.0K Jan  9 14:47 /spider/spots/</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>ls -ldh /spider/data</div>
          <div>drwx------ 7 foo users 4.0K Jan 23 01:01 /spider/data/</div>
          <div>
            <div> </div>
            <div>But maybe it's something quite different and some other
              users will reply to your question, too. Hope you get this
              issue fixed soon. Good luck and all the best.</div>
