something else you may want to be sure of is that the interchange 
installation exists on the "same" partition as the web server's 
filesystem. if it doesn't then this is why you're experiencing this 
problem. Both /usr/local/interchange and /var/www/html/<catalog-share> 
must reside on the same partition/filesystem.
