well, I've allso changed permissions for user "eran" and it still doesnt 
work - I must mention that in the past I didnt have to change 
permissions or do anything special for making it work and it did work 
for me.
I suspect that something during istallation has changed that make this 
problem occur

still waiting for suggestions
Thanks
Eran
