Suspect? Should I be fearing a knock on the door from the authorities? ;-) Do you have any idea why it might be this way?
man 2 open: ... EPERM The O_NOATIME flag was specified, but the effective user ID of the caller did not match the owner of the file and the caller was not privileged (CAP_FOWNER).
Though i don't quite believe that the ATIME is the only reason an EPERM error is signaled.
Assuming this was the case, any idea how I could resolve it? Sorry so many questions, I've been unable to find any other constructive information on this matter. My google-fu has deserted me in my time of need. Thanks, Craig
