Please let me know what is that error i have changed the permission of following directory
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp

Answer 1

assuming you have done the openerp installation by the book, for any kind of permission denied errors on in the form of:
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons/etl'
The general solution according to me is:
cd /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7
chown -R openerp: openerp
The chown command is designed to change the ownership of the openerp folder under /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 to the user openerp. That is the user under which your openerp-server process should be running.
I have been working on openerp for about 2 days now. I am not an expert yet.

Answer 2

At the risk of stating the obvious, you don't have write permissions for that location. As there is no path, I presume it will be opened in your current working directory. Do a ps -ef to get your PID and then run ls -ld /proc/PID/cwd - this will show you the current working directory of the process and then check the write bits and user/group on the directory.
