cadmin update error - permission denied

Hi;

First time user of Current.  I installed 1.4.2 and succesfully
ran an 'up2date' against a copy of the red hat CD rpms.   I then
downloaded the update files from the Red Hat ftp site.

When I ran "cadmin update channel redhat-7.3-i386" it dead because
of permission errors on the file system. (The directory is a remote,
NFS mounted file systems, without root access.)  I re-ran as the
owner of the files, and everything worked.

You may want to add code testing for access permission so that
you can exit gracefully.
