To juiceme's honor: it seems I am the bad guy here. I sent original harmattan preinit to juiceme via e-mail, but it took a short stop on MyDocs (vfat) for attaching to mail. This for sure removed all user rights from that file. As juiceme is only used to Linux, he did not check it once more before taring? So my bad (should have zipped from ext drive). I do apologize!
