Whenever debugging a problem like this try it from the command line.

	# su - interch
	$ cd /web/cat/dir
	Couldn't change to /web/cat/dir: Permission  denied
	$

I am guessing that is what you will see. There is probably a directory
in the tree above that has no execute permission for other.

Anybody want to try their hand at a permission_verify script?
