Following up on this problem. I have changed the oracle user account to being solely on this particular machine (no Yellow Pages acct) and the home directory
no longer points to the amd (auto mounting software) directory. It is actually
on that directory. For example in the /etc/passwd file the entry is:

   oracle:x:31:31:Oracle DBA acct:/u/g/oracle:/usr/lbin/tcsh

The directory /u/g/oracle permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x 27 oracle        512 Dec 12 13:55 7.1/
drwxr-xr-x  2 oracle        512 Nov 22 10:42 7.2/
drwxrwxr-x  2 oracle        512 Dec  7 13:53 TAR/
drwxrwxr-x  4 oracle        512 Nov 27 11:06 admin/
drwxr-xr-x  4 oracle        512 Nov 27 11:08 data/
drwxrwxr-x  2 oracle        512 Dec  7 13:53 local/
drwxrwxr-x  2 oracle        512 Dec  7 13:53 product/

   /u/g/oracle/admin permissions are:
drwxrwxrwx  9 oracle        512 Dec 15 15:11 db71/
drwxrwx---  9 oracle        512 Nov 22 10:45 db72/

   /u/g/oracle/admin/db71 permissions are:
drwxrwxrwx  2 oracle        512 Dec 18 10:58 archive/
drwxrwx---  2 oracle        512 Dec 18 14:20 bdump/
drwxrwx---  2 oracle        512 Nov 22 10:44 cdump/
drwxrwx---  2 oracle        512 Dec 15 15:52 create/
drwxrwx---  2 oracle        512 Dec 14 16:38 pfile/
drwxrwx---  2 oracle        512 Nov 22 10:44 tar/
drwxrwx---  2 oracle        512 Dec 15 16:24 udump/

   /u/g/oracle/admin/db71/archive permissions are:

-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec  8 14:13 db71_%s.arc1_1.dbf
-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec  8 14:25 db71_%s.arc1_2.dbf
-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec  8 14:50 db71_%s.arc1_3.dbf
-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec  8 15:36 db71_%s.arc1_4.dbf
-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec 15 15:32 db71_1.arc
-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec 15 15:39 db71_2.arc
-rw-rw----  1 oracle    2097664 Dec 15 15:50 db71_3.arc

As you can see there are some archive files in this directory. This is because
I have been able to archive the logs manually with the "alter system logs all" command from SQLDBA.

I'm about ready to scream.

P.S. Thanks for all of the responses. I really do appreciate all your ideas!
