Your English was fine, native English speakers (myself included)  
often similarly leave information out.

The directories in the project path also need Execute permissions.  
That is, each directory, from your project directory down through the  
directory for the component package needs Unix permissions rwx------  
at least for the admin user when you're logged in as admin. Read and  
write permissions are not sufficient, but this may not be so easily  
seen through the Finder.

Start a Term.app window, navigate to the directory and check the  
permissions of the component's package directory and the parent  
directory containing that package.  You can use the Unix command "ls - 
lsd <name>" where <name> is the name of the directory you're trying  
to list to see these permissions directly.

If both directories have execute permissions as well, and what you're  
saying is correct, I honestly have no idea what's causing your problem.

There are things we know, however, and things I think we can safely  
infer from what you've said:

We know:

   * WOBuilder attempts to rewrite the WOComponent package each time  
you make a change. (i.e. WOBuilder rewrites the xx.html, xx.wod,  
xx.woo files along with the xx.wo directory containing them and other  
files and directories contained therein, e.g. CVS directories) and  
remove the old package when successful.

   * WOBuilder's failure to write that package leads to the message  
you're seeing.

We can infer:

   * something is stopping WOBuilder from rewriting the package when  
a change is made.

   * failure to rewrite the package is probably causing the other  
problems you're having with WOBuilder

At best, I can only say, good luck, at this point. Perhaps others  
could shed more light on this.

Regards,
Jerry
