permission denied in ./case.setup

I keep running into the following permission denied error when running ./case.setup:

ERROR: Could not make directory '/mnt/lustre/letscher/$CESMUSER/rtl.001/bld/cpl/obj', error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'mnt/lustre/letscher/$CESMUSER'

I have changed the permissions to -rwx for the group (chmod 770) and then all users (chmod 777) on the directory /mnt/lustre/letscher/$CESMUSER
and I still receive the permission denied error.

I have CESM 2.1.3 installed.

It seems as if the $CESMUSER variable is not being resolved? Is it defined in your environment? Most environments define $USER, maybe that would work better for you? Have you tested this from the command line (without involving cesm)? It could be a permission issue on one of the parent directories.
