The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2.1
  RISC 590 and 530
  Sysback 4.2.1.5
 Problem:
  Customer runs this command and gets this error message:

  mkdirback -xf /dev/rmt0 -h sysback1 /home
  Rewinding rmt3 ...
  Generating file list ..
  The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
  /usr/bin/ksh: /tmp/22608backupfiles: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
  Unable to write file list. Check space in /tmp directory on the server.

Action Taken:
  1.  export SBDEBUG=1
  2.  It is failing on this command:
   cat /tmp/22770backupfiles.tmp | sbclient -i sysback1 cat > /tmp/22770backupfiles
  
  I checked the permissions on the server systems /tmp
  directory and it was incorrect, it should be 777 with a t
  bit set:
  chmod 777 /tmp
  chmod +t /tmp
  
That corrected the problem.
