No! It is good that the 3rd command failed. It was actual my fault.

We only wanted to delete the test symlink we created with the first
command. See what the third command is trying to do: It deletes our
test symlink (testgram in your case), but it also tries to delete the
cpool directory. Something we definitely don't want to do. :)


So if it is now working for you like you wrote, everything is fine.

Your initial problem was a permission problem (this is what we are
testing with these commands, they are the same commands the runscript
tries to execute but we will see failures) you already fixed on your
own if it is now working for you.


Regards,
Igor
