Permission denied UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?))

[Austin Witmer]

Ok, here is the output of that command.

austin at mail:~$ ls -laZ /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.list.index.log
-rwxrwxr-- 1 austin austin ? 6796 Aug 20 14:40 /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.list.index.log

Does that tell you anything?
