  From the given, should the reader infer the message details for 
the CPF9006 recorded the group profile name?  Perhaps the specific 
details of the message plus the group & user names are best stated 
for the most clarity.

  Is it possible the user previously had the necessary authority to 
the folder, and [per no longer having the private authority held by 
the user] only now the failing operation has a need to depend on the 
authority available to the group?  Has the user profile, since the 
last time used for the install, been changed to have either of 
OWNER(*GRPPRF) or GRPAUT(*otherthanNONE)?  Or perhaps the user, 
although verified to be in the directory, has its entry [pending] 
being renamed?

  If the operation had not been prevented in the past, but has 
since been corrected to fail with CPF9006 [i.e. if "maybe it 
shouldn't have worked before"], then that would suggest such a 
change was one of the security\integrity PTFs which are effectively 
not capable of being searched.
