Answer 1

ORA-01336: specified dictionary file cannot be opened
Cause: The dictionary file or directory does not exist or is inaccessible.
Action: Make sure that the dictionary file and directory exist and are accessible.
Probably an issue with the rights on the directories.
To confirm the same, try writing a sample procedure with UTL_FILE to create a file at this location and capture the error. It will give you more details about the problem.
