It might not have write permissions to the PB directory or it couldn't find
the PB directory.

Make sure your running it with the same user the game runs with to avoid
read/write errors.

Subject: [cod] punkbuster issue - failed writing body after pbsetup.run -u

Hi There

Doing a fresh install on a new box.

Gave pbsetup.run chmod 777 and ran the following with no problems

     ./pbsetup.run -e
     ./pbsetup.run --add-game=cod4 --add-game-path=/home/games/cod4 

Then tried running

./pbsetup.run -u

and I get the following error message

me at srv:/home/games/cod4$ ./pbsetup.run -u
pbsetup v2.0

Failed writing body
me at srv:/home/games/cod4$



Any ideas what the issue might be here? Maybe a permission error?

Thanks in advance.
George
