linux error message when trying to run an automated move
I'm trying to run a process that has been lying dormant on our system for a couple years. It involves the generation of a bunch of web pages that are written to a linux file then moved through a samba share to a windows server. At some point during all these transfers I'm getting the error message below for each .htm file attempted. I don't know hardly anything about linux and the guy who set all this up is long gone. I know this was working at one time.
linux mv:preserving ownership for '/webpages/123.htm': operation not permitted

Hi!
Type (on the Linux server): cat /etc/passwd
Look for the username with PID 683. Then check that this username exist in your Windows environment and that the user account is enabled. Also check the Samba configuration ( in file samba.conf ) for how the shares are setup.

I don't like the look of the zeroes in e.g //jabba/PartsWebPages on /webpages type smbfs (0). That says to me they are mounted with no access, but I haven't really got into Samba yet so maybe they're OK. Any other expert know?

The files in question do not appear to be making the move.
The script that is executing the move is:
sudo mv /home/pick/webpages/partpa
there are a bunch of these lines in the /usr/chabin/ directory in a file called mvwebpages
the "partpageD" portion changes depending upun the page being moved.
the mount command lists:
/dev/sda6 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdd1 on /data type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
automount(pid683) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=683,minproto
//jabba/ARTransfers on /artransfers type smbfs (0)
//jabba/PickTransfers on /transfers type smbfs (0)
//jabba/ShippingRates on /shippingrates type smbfs (0)
//jabba/PowerSource on /pwrsrc type smbfs (0)
//jabba/TechSupp on /techsupp type smbfs (0)
//jabba/PartsWebPages on /webpages type smbfs (0)
The last entry is the target in question. We use one of the other shares (powersource) every day so I know at least that is working.
Thank you for your help!
