Hi Sean,
Despite its world read permission being set, you still need the sudo
to get to it on my machine.
Regardless of the permissions on the file, each directory in the path to
the file needs execute (AKA search) permission if the kernel is to let
you access an entry in that directory by name.
That's why it's not working here - no read permission on the
directories. I didn't read back through the thread to see what Clive's
permissions were and thought it simpler to hit it with a big hammer than
try the small one and fail!
