Error in safe_copy chmod command for cesm2 on Cheyenne (in cime utils.py)

[macmardg]

I get an error building cesm2.1 on cheyenne (that only arises when I have code mods under src.drv), that appears to be due to an already-discovered error in safe_copy in utils.py in /glade/p/cesm/releases/cesm2_1/cime/scripts... described here: ESMCI/cime basically chmod is missing one of its arguments in the python scripts. Is there a way to port the fix described there to the cesm2_1 (and cesm2_1_1) release directories? Any help appreciated!

I recommend that you do not use source from /glade/p/cesm/releases/ and that you instead clone the repository yourself.
The fix is available in the latest cesm2_1 compatible source which is cesm2.1.3
