Probably they mean that your ICS 8065 is broken (though not fatally), possibly
due to a bug in the firmware. It should never happen that you /occasionally/
get "permission denied" errors from the RPC layer (which is what the VXI-11
protocol builds upon). One possibility is that the guys who wrote the software
(firmware) for the ICS 8065 misunderstood the specification and send back such
an error to indicate that the device is temporarily unavailable (for instance
because it is busy servicing another device/request/whatever). One way to
check this hypotheses is to temporarily switch to a configuration where you
use only one GPIB device per gateway: if the error goes away then this would
confirm my hypotheses.
Another possibility for research is to try to correlate the times these errors
happen with network problems, e.g. intermittent failures of network components
between the gateway and the IOC or unusually high rates of broken packages.
(Note that this is a pure guess, you should consult with your network people
and ask them whether they think this could be a cause.)
In any case, you might want to see if firmware upgrades for the ICS 8065 are
available. With the Agilent E2050A (another such gateway) this sometimes did
help to resolve problems.
Cheers
