Now that is very strange. I am curious what is rejecting the operation.
Does it only affect the Makefile file in that directory, or simply the
creation of any file anywhere?

Does the kernel print any errors to the console (or use dmesg to see the
last kernel error messages).

Is any activity in codacon indicating that venus tries to send a
Create/Store to the server.

It looks like the create succeeds, but the store operation is completely
failing. On what operation does it return EINVAL,
 `strace -e trace=file cp -p /tmp/wwwjob/Makefile' should show that.

Is the disk containing /usr/coda/venus.cache full?
