thanks for the info
I tried it out in our development environment and had the below results
$ more relocate
DB_NAME=SALES_DB
DB_PATH=/home/avcd1,/archive/devz/DB2/avcd1/sales_db
INSTANCE=avcd1
$ chmod 755 relocate
$ db2relocatedb -f relocate
DBT1007N An error occurred while attempting to perform operation "read" on file/device "/archive/devz/DB2/avcd1/sales_db/avcd1/NODE0000/sqldbdir/sqldbdir".
$ ls -ltr /archive/devz/DB2/avcd1/sales_db/avcd1/NODE*

I opened up all permissions on the file in question and it still doesn't work, any suggestions?
thanks in advance
