Is the user running this in the oracle group? What is your umask? Is your ORACLE_HOME set to /u01/app/ora92? Can you create files in the $ORACLE_HOME directory and all those above it? How about /tmp?

See metalink Note:201200.1
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_id=201200.1&p_database_id=NOT , seems on some platforms the unix kernel parameters are documented too low.
