reopen_file: Cannot open new file: Permission denied

When my xymon 4.3.17 server starts up, it runs fine and does irt job as expected...
...  except that if I leave the session open that I started it on I see periodically this line repeated twice

"reopen_file: Cannot open new file: Permission denied"
I can;t work out what file it is trying to re-open and why therefore find out why its permissions are wrong.
I've had a shufti at the ..../server  folder and nothing is leaping out as the "wrong" ownership ...  what I do see is then ...../server/www/snap,  ....server/wwww/rep have a group ownership of apache and everything below it is apache:apache but that is presumably tied up with the apache web server that presents xymon to the world so not likely to be it presumably.

the only other place I thouht of was /var/logs/xymon but the user can create a new file OK in there.

Anyone any pointers to where to start looking?  or to start investigating further?
