Your error message may just be telling you that you can't do something that you don't need to do anyway :) Also, /usr/local/bin/a.out will be executed as user daemon (I think, but it won't be sql) so make sure a.out has world execute privs (and world read if it's really a script). And look at various directory and file permissions with that in mind.
