Dear ..., what are the file permissions for the file and the folder? Is the drmaa_external_runner.py python script run with sudo? Which release/branch are you on? Best, Matthias

We are setting up run as real user but have run into a strange issue. When the drmaa external script is called it could not load the job json file. All permissions are set properly and the file exists. Upon attempting to run the script by itself this error is created. When loading a test script to open a file there is no issue. If the drmaa external script is run as root the same issue occurs.
