/var/lib/ocsinventory/reports/logs not writable

This problem has been discussed, but not answered some years ago.  Today i ran the update on the ocsreport server and it's now reporting back that /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/logs is not writable.  SElinux is off, and the route to the directory is all either 777 permissions or owned by www-data:www-data so there's no reason at all for it to not be writable.   Also, to compound the issue, it doesn't seem to matter if I change the log directory to be /var/ocsreports/logs, it still reports back that /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/logs is not writable.
