Thanks Marko and Niphlod. I do not think it is a permissions problem in the app somewhere. I did not have a cache/ directory but then I do not use cache.disk.
The issue Niphlod refers to seems to be related. I could see no solution there though :( My problem is not (as suggested in some message in that thread) that the message appears in the log. The problem is that it breaks the app on that point. The user cannot continue with the task. On our other server the same code works with the same code and data. The only difference as far as software goes is that we use nginx/uwsgi on the other server.
