We don't say "Operation not permitted" ourselves; it is coming from your C
library's strerror(3) when we got EPERM error back. The reason you get
EPERM can vary depending on your platform and what you did to your
directories yourself, but googling for "Operation not permitted" and
randomly reading a few might give you hints.
