I'm at a dead on. I'm trying to assign a variable
MT='/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nrsa0' in a shell script. The trouble is that the assignment isn't made and the script writes to stdout/err ./l0dump.sh: /dev/nrsa0: permission denied where l0dump.sh is the name of the script. Why would this assignment fail? I am running this as root. root definately has write access the /dev/nrsa0. This is really maddening.
