  Can you check the owner, group and permissions of the file?

  Only the database administrator or members of that user's permission group can view the contents of the file. If you alter the file permissions from their default values, Vertica backup or restore actions fail with an error message.

  Example of defaults:

  [dbadmin@s18384357 ~]$ ls -lrt jim_password
  -rw------- 1 dbadmin verticadba 35 Jun 25 16:07 jim_password
