This is something which needs to be done as root. You could
switch to root using the su command and create the directory
in a console. You would need to change the permissions
on the directory as well. The script would then probably work.
Alternatively, you could change the permissions on the directory
/etc. But this would open up /etc for undesirable access by
other users.
You should think carefully about the reason the directory is
needed. In most cases it is best if directories are created by
the web server as needed, because then it owns the directory in
question and would have the access it needs.
Ron.

I'm having a hard time imagining how this is even peripherally related to
Xerces (or XML). If you have questions about or related to Xerces-J ask
them here, but please direct questions like this to the appropriate
mailing list.
