following maybe encountered

$ cleartool rmview -f -all -uuid

from vob '/vobs/RR_APP'.

* The view being removed was for a UCM stream in '/vobs/RR_PVOB'
* The view had checkout from component VOB '/vobs/RR_APP'
* '/vobs/RR_PVOB' and '/vobs/RR_APP' reside on the same UNIX
(Linux) VOB server
* '/vobs/RR_PVOB' and '/vobs/RR_APP' have different VOB owners
* the db_server_log shows messages
 Error: CRRDM0008E *** db_VISTA database error -905 - error
opening file
 Error: DBMS error in '/vobs/atria/lib/db/...
 Error: DBMS error in /opt/ClearCaseStorage/VOBs/RR_PVOB.vbs/db.
 Error: db_VISTA error -905 (errno == 'Permission denied')

Some errors seen as the second line
 Error: DBMS error in '/vobs/atria/lib/db/db__obj.c' line 2065
 Error: DBMS error in '/vobs/atria/lib/db/db__str.c' line 789
 Error: DBMS error in '/vobs/atria/lib/db/db__hlink.c' line 1697

Steps to reproduce:
  Have a VOB server with several different VOB owners
  Destroy a UCM view, leaving checkouts to a component VOB
  Attempt to cleanup the checkouts with 'rmview -uuid'
Exact steps not known - further conditions maybe necessary

Workaround:
  Use 'cleartool protectvob -chown XXX  ..../RR_APP.vbs'
  to make the component VOB have the same owner as the project
VOB

accounts.
