You were right.  Checked permissions and found this database only had 
"everyone".  Other databases on the server had "system".  Altered windows 
permissions to on the directory to include "system", bounced the agent and now 
okay.

OK, can you send me offline the full emagent.trc and emagent_perl.trc files, a 
listing of the database files and control files showing the permissions (ls -l 
sort of thing), as well as details as far as OS versions, database versions etc.

Thanks!

Agent service was not touched nor has the file system.  Bounced the agent and 
still have the same results.

There are a couple of bugs that have similar sorts of messages, but the 
messages about file permissions make me wonder if someone has secured the 
database at the filesystem level - is the agent running as a different OS user 
that may not have permissions to see the files anymore?

Subject: Grid Control 11G monitoring error

Starting last Thursday, Grid Control 11G was reporting an error on one of our 
databases.  This is NOT a newly monitored database.  Grid has NOT been patched 
in over 6 months.  The following appears in the emagent.trc file.  Any ideas as 
to the cause?
