I set the /opt dir permissions to 'drwxrwxr-r' before creating the image, but it changes when loading from hda3.
Is hda3 a Windows partition, by any chance? I copied a directory of mp3's from my friend's NTFS partition onto my ext3 partition. All the files had '-rw-rwSr--' ('S' = suid root) permissions. I changed the permissions to normal with 'chmod -R -s [dir]' ('-s' removes the suid root bit; '-S' adds it). Perhaps you should check the permissions of the directory in hda3 where the extension is stored.

Both computers I tried have only grub DSL installations; no windows. I                              
changed the /mnt/hda3 folders to 'drwxrwxrwx'  but that didn't help. I also played with the permissions of the file within the extension to make sure it was 'rwx' for both group and user, but nothing worked (I also played with various chown settings).  I also tried prayer, but that didn't work either...
Does fdisk -l /dev/hda show a clean partition table or does it show many mismatches between physical and logical beginning and ending of partitions.

First I ran 'checkfs', then:

Could this be your issue? What about the other puters with similar issue do they have this same condition?
