Hi Tom,

It doesnt help.  I now get 9000:invalid flag "--temp-dir". My PGP Command Line version is 8.5 and that flag is not supported in that version.

Any other ideas?

Do you have read and write access to the current working directory?

Can you re-run your command with the "--debug --verbose" options, and post the result?

Thanks.

Hi David,

Here are the results:

Here's an example of what it looks like when it runs properly:

The successful run shows this:

While the unsuccessful one shows:

Do the users who get the error have write permissions to in \\SQLSTAGE\MRIAPPS\BOA_PAYMODE\OUTBOX\PGP\? Have the permissions on the folder changed recently or has the group membership of the users changed?

Hi David,

Yes, we noticed that, and the users do have permissions to that folder.  However, we eventually figured out where the problem was.  The issue was that the users needed read/write access to the working directory.

Let me explain. What was missing from my screenshots was:

 C:\Program Files\MRI Real Estate Solutions>pgp.exe --e "\\SQLSTAGE\MRIAPPS\BOA_PAYMODE\OUTBOX\PGP\temp.csv" -r 0x66666666 --verbose --debug --compress --output "\\SQLSTAGE\MRIAPPS\BOA_PAYMODE\OUTBOX\PGP\temp.pgp" --armor --sign --signer 0xFFFFFFFF --passphrase 123456 

That was the command that fired the PGP.  The users needed read/write access to C:\Program Files\MRI Real Estate Solutions\ as well as the \\SQLSTAGE\...\PGP\ folder.  For some reason, PGP 8.5 needs read/write access to the working directory. So we solved the problem by changing the working directory to one that the user had access to.

I believe that PGP 8.5 wrote its temporary files to the current working directory.

I'm glad you found your solution.
