This seems to be AIPS enforcing access permissions rather than the operating
system. There is no one with the helpdesk who is very knowledgeable abut
AIPS. The only guess I have at the moment is that maybe AIPS is enforcing
access rights via the AIPS user number.

Just in case, your user number is 2359.

I've Cc:'ed daip at nrao.edu.
