When the ACOLITE_DIR (in this case /opt/acolite_linux) is not writable by a user, the process reports this cryptic error message and exits:
'IDL Version 8.4 (linux x86_64 m64). (c) 2014, Exelis Visual Information Solutions, Inc.\n\n% ACOLITE: Running ACOLITE for 1 image.\nError -254: Error opening file. Unit'
The solution, naturally, is to make sure that ACOLITE_DIR is writable. Although this issue is solved, it is worth recording the fix as it is hard to determine what is going on solely from the error message.
