Are you using a database on a different machine? If so, I'd guess that
the remote server is trying to write your sqexplain.out file in the root
directory of the remote machine and (thank goodness), it is failing to do
so.

PS: there seem to be some problems with your identity -- I've sent this
by email to root@132.197.248.8, in the probably vain hope that it gets through
and is where it was sent from, but it would be helpful if you included a valid
email address in your message.
