Since the bad old days of MV3, whenever I have encountered this, it has 
been an issue of the cgi-bin link file permissions.  Telnet into your 
server and check the perm's on the link file for your catalog. If they look 
like this:

-rwxr-xr-x

try this command at the prompt:

chmod u+s filename

...substitute the name of your link file for filename.  Conversely, if the 
permissions look like this:

-rwsr-xr-x

try this command at the prompt:

chmod u-s filename

Most of the time this will solve the problem.
