It would help if I had the whole stacktrace.
Note that submitting a job involves write to two filesystems: Client's
local FS and JobTracker's distributed FS (HDFS). A Client will need
access to the hadoop.tmp.dir pointed path at its own end to assemble a
submittable jar to HDFS, onto JT. Your permission issue may easily be
here, which a stacktrace would easily help confirm.
