body: Hi Shane,

This appears to be a file system permission issue with the Confluence index folder. You may check the permissions at [Confluence_home](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Home+Directory)/index and [Rebuild the Index](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Content+Index+Administration).

Cheers
