Utl_file is not allowing file access in certain directories

OS : HP-UX 11.23 Oracle database :  10.2.0.4 enterprise server

We have utl_file_dir set to * in our parameters.  when we run a ps/sql program that runs in our production environment, we get an error:
ERROR: openfile: INVALID OPERATION
I know this is probably a permissions problem.  utl_file has no problem accessing a file in /home/dp500, but will not access files in /home/dp500/Remittance.  The Remittance directory is wide open (777).

What am I missing?

Thanks
