[greenc@fgtest1] ~ $ globus-job-run-ws fgtest1.fnal.gov:9443 /usr/bin/whoami globusrun-ws: Job failed: Invalid directory path "/home/minboone/.globus/scratch/951bbe9e-3714-41a0-68b6-a02bbee41159/". org.globus.exec.generated.InvalidPathFaultType If the /home/minboone/.globus/scratch directory is created manually: [root@fgtest1 ~]# ls -ld /home/minboone/.globus/scratch drwx------ 2 minboone e898 2048 Oct 9 12:36 /home/minboone/.globus/scratch Then the command succeeds: [greenc@fgtest1] ~ $ globus-job-run-ws fgtest1.fnal.gov:9443 /usr/bin/whoami minboone I would submit that the default behavior should be to ensure that the scratch directory exists prior to creating the unique directory underneath it, as is currently the case for pre-WS operation as I understand it. Otherwise, admin intervention may be needed on a per-user basis. Thanks for your time and help, Chris.
This behavior was intentional since we aren't using the GASS cache anymore and a common base scratch directory may be specified by the admin that shouldn't be manipulated on a per-user basis. That said, other users have complained about this behavior so we're trying to decide what the best way to handle this is. I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #3803. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3803 ***
