Sorry, I will do that.

I have attached a log file of the following events to show:
 - the ‘make-plots’ is updated and executable
 - my writing output directory has write-permission
 - the regular error output from ‘rivet-mkhtml'
 - the verbose output from ‘rivet-mkhtml'

The verbose output of ‘rivet-mkhtml’ is quite long, sorry! From this verbose 
output I see: 

    OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

generated from a local Python file '/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py' on my
machine. Again, I am running a relatively fresh install of SLC6. 

I ensured that ‘subprocess.py’ is executable by everyone (it was not before) 
but the same errors are still generated.


Regards,
Cameron Embree
