The DATABASE.out file is owned by root?  In your shell
initialization scripts, do you have the "noclobber" variable
set?  It's there to keep you from accidentally overwriting
files by using the shell redirection operators.  If you
really do want to overwrite the file (lose the old data),
just delete the file and try again.  Then noclobber won't
get involved.
