Oh, ok, now I get it.

The error message means that the system call to chmod() failed (with rc == -1)
for the given file and errno is 1. The error message actually also includes a
textual description of the system error before '(1)', but that is empty here.

This happens in FileIo::transfer, presumably called from
TiffImage::writeMetadata in this case (based on the file name).

When the file is written, it is saved to a temporary file first. Then the
temporary file is renamed to the original filename and the original permissions
are applied to the new file. The actual implementation is a bit more
complicated:
http://dev.exiv2.org/repositories/entry/exiv2/trunk/src/basicio.cpp#L217

What are the permissions of the original file and that of the directory? What
filesystem is this on?

Andreas
