I had a very similar problem with a "chmod 0777 filename" not working in my init.rc. It took me hours to figure it out. Just in case you face the same thing, here is what was my problem. The directory where "filename" was had less rights than what I wanted for "filename". So, even though filename was supposed to be 0777, the effective rights were the one of "parent directory". To fix it I did: chmod 0777 "parentdirectory" chmod 0777 "parentdirectory/filename"
