Either you VENDROOT directory permissions are goofy, or you are otherwise 
trying to run makecat as a user who does not have proper permissions to 
read files in VENDROOT.

In my consulting travels I often run across Interchange server 
installations which have been done from the tardist, it which 
/usr/local/interchange and most of the files and directories therein are 
owned by root. This is unnecessary, and in most cases undesirable, so I 
will usually recursively chown the whole interchange tree to the 
interchange user and group (interch.interch in most cases). Then you can 
run makecat and other ops as interch without getting permissions-related 
errors. Of course, what you choose to do on your server is up to you.
