Rename master cause OSStatus error -5000

Hello,

I want to rename some master files in my Aperture library.
When doing this I get the message: The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -5000.)

Anyone know a solution for this?

I am using Batch Change. I set the new file name and activate 'Apply to Master Files'.

Error -5000 is from the OS, it is *Insufficient access privileges for operation*

Are the masters you're trying to change referenced by any chance? If so take a look at the permissions on the disk, folder and files. If they're managed then I would try running the Aperture first aid on the library (repair permissions, library, etc).

Thank you. Repairing the database permissions solved my issue.
