I assume that your 9iAS box is a Unix box. Please try signing on to your AS box as Oracle (the owner of the Application Server application) and verify that Oracle is able to execute the 'chmod' command on that file successfully. If Oracle can't do the 'chmod' then your application won't be able to do it either.

To successfully perform utl_file commands against a file, that file's directory has to be defined by the 'utl_file_dir' in the init.ora file. I wonder if the file you want to 'chmod' also has to have its directory in that list?
