Rex, Ok.... But wouldn't "sudo -u nobody" from the command line show me if "nobody" did not have permissions? It's seems to work fine from the command line (and yes - cf is running as nobody).

Try running CF as root and see if that works. If it does, it's a permission issue with the nobody user (maybe nobody has permissions to execute convert). If it does not, it may be an issue with cfexecute or something else. Mark Kruger wrote: > Ok folks, I have a difficult problem and googling does not seem to > help.
