Hi, while not on an RAQ550, I have just transfered a lot of scripts on to a
red hat white box using ensim.
Not one script would run, until I deleted the script and re-uploaded and
then set the permissions. Any script transferred while tarred, does not seem
to enter the systems dbase as there is generally a different user. I don't
know how to put it in the correct terms, but deleting the script and
re-uploading as that user then chmod seemed to work every time.
Remember the RAQ550 is a different animal.

I think ...
