Hi Ameya,
it seems there is a complete issue with Authorizations of saposcol.
change u r permissions like the below with the user root.
chown root saposcol
chgrp sapsys saposcol
chmod 4750 saposcol
eg:-rwsr-x---1 root sapsys XXXXXX Mar XX  XX:XX saposcol
read the complete  Note 19227 - (open newest saposcol) for the more information.
Hope that will helps you.
