I ran into an error like this as well, and it is indeed a permissions issue. The permissions I observed on these files were:
$ ls -lh /usr/local/bin/PASApipeline-2.0.2/seqclean/seqclean/bin/
total 428K
-rwxrwxr-x 1 1597 61 111K Jul 13 2004 cdbfasta
-rwxrwxr-x 1 1597 61 110K Jul 13 2004 cdbyank
-rwxrwxr-x 1 1597 61 8.5K Apr 9 2003 mdust
-rwxrwxr-x 1 1597 61 13K Apr 9 2003 psx
-rwxrwxr-x 1 1597 61 146K Apr 9 2003 pvmsx
-rwxr-x--x 1 1418 games 12K Jul 13 2004 seqclean.psx
-rwxrwxr-x 1 1597 61 15K Apr 9 2003 trimpoly
So I just changed the file ownerships using a command like this:
$ sudo chown user:group /usr/local/bin/PASApipeline-2.0.2/seqclean/seqclean/bin/*
This appears to have fixed this issue. Maybe not the best solution, but no solution I ever come up with is.
Hope that helps.
