My guess is that you've got /var, /var/tmp, or /var/tmp/catalyst mounted with
noexec.

# cat /etc/mtab |grep noexec

nope, admittedly I have /var/tmp/catalyst symlinked to /home/catalyst
due to space constraints on /var but that shouldn't affect anything.
perms on /home/catalyst are umask 002 and running all this as root.
