title: SBT throws java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Permission denied) on project folder
body: <p>I'm wondering whether anyone has any experience with a <code>java.io.FileNotFoundException</code> while trying to run SBT.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to get SBT running I get the error below. This happens right after I enter <code>sbt</code> when it tries to load the project definition.</p>
  
  <p>I checked out the files that it says it can't access and they're definitely there and I'm totally stumped as to why it's doing this.</p>
  
  <p>The stack trace is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[debug] Running task... Cancelable: false, check cycles: false
  java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/blah/blah/project/target/streams/$global/compilers/$global/out (Permission denied)
