 Does the target directory exist ?

 Assuming your target is /var/target
 do 
 cd var
 then
 ls -dl tar*

 You should get something that looks like
 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    4096 2010-02-25 12:14 target/

 In this case, it listed, so we know it exists.
 The permissioning tells us it's a directory, that the owner ( root )
 has read, write, and execute permission. The group ( also root )
 has read and execute, but not write, permission.
 Everyone else has read and execute, but not write, permission.
 So, anyone who is not root can read and/or execute what is there,
 but can't put anything there.

        You are a quick and intelligent thinker.  People like you
because you are bisexual.  However, you are inclined to expect too much
for too little.  This means you are cheap.  Geminis are known for
committing incest.
