As horrible as it only sounds, I'd try a strace.  Also... I don't think it should make a difference, but try adding +x to your permissions, since it's a directory...(?)

Thanks all.

No reply's.  Amazing since the wiki page claims its the most popular backup ever..  So I've played the 10,000 monkeys trying to rewrite Shakespears output, probably followed the ownership and perms too well.  Tried to invent the user backup, succeeded well enough I can login as first user (gene) then sudo -i to become root.  then "su backup", who can the df a 10T raid6 and see:
 backup@amanda:/root$ df /raid6
Filesystem                           1K-blocks         Used  Available          Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg0-myraid 11272913680 1055764 11271857916   1%  /raid6
owned by backup:backup, with  perms=040660, or rw,rw,--.  looks good right? BUT:
====================
root@amanda:~# su backup
backup@amanda:/root$ ls -l /raid6
ls: cannot access '/raid6/DailySet1': Permission denied
total 0
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? DailySet1
backup@amanda:/root$ ls -l /raid6/DailySet1
ls: cannot access '/raid6/DailySet1': Permission denied
====================
So something is still fubar.  The question is what?
Thank you for any assistance.
