Charles, thanks for clarifying.

As I mentioned I was initially working in a root shel but came up against errors I couldn't find any reference to anywhere.

It was only whilst composing my post here that I thought to try it as a non-root user in case that had been an assumed step in any instructions I'd followed.

OK, so disregarding the permissions (which I can assume if not fine are at least a separate issue), can anyone make any recommendations about where I should go from here: (note root shell)

# ./blazer_usb -DDDDD -a rupert -u root
