Okay -- you and root both use tcsh(1).

Okay -- sudo(8) looks good.

Okay -- mkdir(1) looks good.

Okay -- the directory /fsvc/clients/specMed/LIVE/master is on the root 
filesystem.

Okay -- the root filesystem is not full.


I think Paul found the problem -- the directory 
/fsvc/clients/specMed/LIVE/master is full.  Try these commands:

% ls -ld /fsvc

% ls -ld /fsvc/clients

% ls -ld /fsvc/clients/specMed

% ls -ld /fsvc/clients/specMed/LIVE

% ls -ld /fsvc/clients/specMed/LIVE/master
