Check the status of /var/spool/pop/ thus:
$ ls -ld /var/spool/pop /var/spool/pop/*
If /var/spool/pop does not exist, use mkdir to create it
If it does, and /var/spool/pop/carmen.pop does not exist, look at the permissions of /var/spool/pop, to make sure that you are allowed to write
in that directory.
If /var/spool/pop/carmen.pop does exist, check its permissions and
ownership to make sure you are allowed to write to it.
Use chmod to change permissions.
