If you are not admin of the Interchange server you need to request removal by
the admin. Do a:

locate interchange.cfg

that will tell you the location of the file. If you can not run makecat then
you most likely can not delete a cat either. If everything works except
quantity pricing and cross sell then stop where you are. Site is fine and all
is operational except these two items? Read the docs on quantity pricing and
start looking for your error. Assuming you are using the UI (again that assume
thing) try something as simple as hitting apply changes. In any case stop
worrying about both of them and concentrate on one or the other and fix it.
Then move to the other problem and fix it. Move slow and backup what you
presently have before you alter. You can always go back to the old version.
Permission denied simply means you are messing with something you are not
allowed to mess with.
