There IS obviously a permission problem. Make sure that the user your GF runs with has the permission to create a file in this path. Try to touch a file in this path in a shell.

Check that every directory in the path /opt/vendor/sunone/SDK/nodeagents/ACSNA-TEST/agent/config/admch has the execute right set for the GF user or its group (chmod +x).
