Re: [mv] Could not tie to session: Permission denied

Check the ownership on all the files in your catalog directory.  Make sure 
they are either owned by you or minivend.  It sounds almost like your copy 
of minivend isn't running as minivend, but as the webserver (usually user 
nobody).  Check that out, and also check that your vlink/tlink are suid 
minivend.
