This got me close to what may be the underlying problem
Thanks.

Upon looking further, I discovered that the zip drive itself
(hdd4) had these perms:

brw-------    1 kilpatms disk      22,  68 Jan 30  2003 hdd4

I have changed that to read brwxrwxrwx (777)

But that has not solved the underlying problem of changing
the perms on the files on the zip platter. when I try to
run the command
   chmod 777 /misc/zip/Scripts/wake/*
the OS tries to chmod each file and reports back "operation not
permitted" for each one.
The actual error mesage is this:
chmod: changing permissions of `wake1.sxw' (requested: 0777, actual: 0770): 
Operation not permitted

And, yes, I am running the chmod command as root.

I remain clueless in Atlanta.
