Unable to copy links backup

Unable to copy links backup
When I go to build I get the error bellow I searched the data base and there are no threads found. My permisions contrary to what it says are correct for that file 755. I have also reloaded it and it does the same thing it is loaded in ascII mode. If i do a staggered(auto) build it creates the catigory even though it gives this same error. Any help would be appreciated

You need to do the following:

1) Upload a blank file called links.db.bak in your data directory.

2) Change the permission of this file to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

3) Then change the permission of your backup directory to 777 (rwxrwxrwx).
