This is almost certainly permissions - are you running makecat as root or 
as the interchange user?  When installing catalogs in multiple-group mode 
(M), be root when installing interchange and running makecat (but ownership 
of interchange should be assigned to user interch and the catalog user 
should be a normal user) and you will not have this problem.
