PATH variable not being recognised

[nolim073]

Hello,
this is a weired one.
i vi'd a users .profile and added

MAIL=/usr/mail/${LOGNAME:?}
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/web/ebmo/work70/bin/:

i logged out and logged in and am trying to run ant command in /web/ebmo/work70/bin/. i get permission denied.

If i do /web/ebmo/work70/bin/ant it runs!

any idea why?

can you post

ls -al /web/ebmo/work70/bin/ant

You could check that you don't have a copy of ant (in the PATH), with bad permissions, and another copy in /web/ebmo/work70/bin/ant with the correct permissions. See output from 'which ant'.
