Robert,

Hmm...  This error says that the thing that is attempting to be written
to is a directory.  The error indicators come from the /usr/include/sys/errno.h
file:

Here are the first 48 of these error codes as extracted from the errno.h
file on our Solaris SPARC 2.6 machine:

You can see that an error 21 is labeled as "Is a directory".

I guess that the next question for you is what pattern are you using to
file your products?

OK, sounds good.
