Wait... Is this a report on cups-pdf or on cupsys?
I have suffered a problem with similar symptoms to bug #301406. But in my
system the problem afects all users including root:
Sun Aug 14 01:17:46 2005 [ERROR] failed to set file mode for PDF file
(/root/cups-pdf/Test_Page.pdf)
Another issue here is whether you indeed are on a Debian system or on Ubuntu.
Some settings must be changed to be able to use cups-pdf on Ubuntu, otherwise
cups-pdf indeed cannot set the permissions, because Ubuntu maintainers modified
it to run as a non-root user.
After some experimenting I've found that installing the package gs-gpl, and
restarting the virtual printer after that, seems to solve the problem.
Are cupspdf or cupsys packages dependant from gs?
cupsys depends on gs-eps, which provides the Ghostscript we need.
