The user Summary is running as needs read access to the log files 
themselves and to any aliases involved, and read/execute permission on 
the folders.


On OS X, this error can also happen if you are running our of vnodes (an 
internal system resource). You can check for this with the commands:

sysctl kern.maxvnodes
pstat -T

The first command, sysctl, will display the maximum number of vnodes that 
the system can currently have. The second, pstat, will display a couple 
of bits of information. The one you want is the number of vnodes 
currently in use. If the number of vnodes currently in use is anywhere 
near the maximum you are probably having a problem with vnodes.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
