title: Sass watch permissions denied - no compass
body: <p>I am attempting to run a sass watch command on a new branch of code. when I run the normal command I get a permissions denied error. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /me/atg/workspace/AA/dev_3.4.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's my command: </p>
  
  <pre><code>sass --watch stores.scss:/me/atg/workspace/AA/dev_3.4.0/a_a/modules/estore/j2ee/AA.war/static/css/stores.css   --style compressed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I ran the command using sudo, and it does seem to run. The watch picks up that changes have been made in the scss files, but the changes do not appear after refresh as they did previously using the watch command. I have to rebuild and start the server for the changes to actually show on my local site. </p>
  
  <p>I think it is possibly a cache issue, but not sure. I am not using compass and most of the solutions I've read about seem to be related to compass.</p>
  
  <p>Below is the trace when running the watch command without using sudo. </p>
