I continue to get these messages when some cron jobs are running. I can see that it is a permissions problems. But I have tried everything by changing permissions and it still is having problems. This particular file that is mentioned is not there.
So the user who's crontab ran this does not have permission to create the file.
Try doing
su - user
where user is the user who's crontab this is, followed by
touch /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/mailman/2007-October.txt.gz
Someone please help me figure this out. There has to be some little thing I am missing. I have compared files with others that are not getting the message and the permissions are the same.
Your "cron" job on lists /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip
