error 13

[kalin]

hi all..

this hasn't happened before...

i'm in as root on the command line cleint. trying to load data infile 
'/path/to/file'

file is owned by mysql and it has 777 permissions. the directory where 
the file is is also owned by mysql.

when i do:
mysql> load data infile '/path/to/file' etc...

i get:

ERROR 13 (HY000): Can't get stat of '/path/to/file' (Errcode: 13)

ls -al /path/to/file

lists the file...

so why do i get errcode 13?!


i'm on os x.


thanks...
