The catalog.cfg file will be expected to be in the directory
specified in the interchange.cfg file's "Catalog" directive
for the site you created.  This will be the directory you
specified when you ran makecat.

Look at the permissions on the following directories and set them
so that the Interchange user has read/execute permission:

    /var/lib/interchange/erin-cat
    /var/lib/interchange

I assume your /var and /var/lib directories are set correctly.

Also check the permissions on the "products" directory (under "erin-cat")
and the files in the products directory.  If you find problems there then
check all of the files and directories under the erin-cat directory for
permission problems.
