The issue is that I get the same error message, no matter what I set the
permissions to. The error message appears to be wrong too; the mode was
NOT 777, but was 700, 1700, 1777, and a few other permutations and
combinations.
I read the SSH FAQ, where my old colleague Cameron Simpson gives advice about
creating links, but I did not understand whether that is relevant to our
problem.
