No. Have you tried running the command? I mean the command
“zcat TheFile.gz | MyFifo”, exactly like that without altering the
paths. Did you get the same error message? If you have not tried, I
suggest you do instead of guessing, because your guessing is not as
reliable as mine (I guessed THEN I checked).

This is valid for everybody: if you cannot see at first glance why this
command should not output anything about the permissions of MyFifo, try
it, it will be a good exercise.
