Subject: chgrp, Illegal seek

Hello,
I'm just wondering whether the following problem is netatalk
related. I doubt but hope that other users came across this before ...
A have a lpd input filter written in Perl.
The input filter is run by "lp" who is a member of the "nobody"
group.
I log the error "Illegal seek" from this line
system( "chgrp", "nobody", $out ) && &my_error_log( "$!" );
On the shell I can verify
sh-2.04$ id
uid=4(lp) gid=7(lp) groups=7(lp),99(nobody)
sh-2.04$ chgrp nobody <lp-created-ps-file>
sh-2.04$ echo $?
0
Only when run from lpd this peculiar error comes up.
Has anybody come across this?
Any hints very much welcome
Axel
(my current workaround is a simple "chmod 777 $out")
System is a RH7.0 with netatalk1.5-pre6
