“Operation not permitted” is EPERM, which is different from EACCESS
“Permission denied”. Normally you get the permission denied issue for
file permission issues, and “not permitted” for trying to do something
like killing a root process as a normal user.

Have you tried using strace on bitbake? See if you can find if there's
an actual system call returning EPERM just before Python raises the
IOError exception.
