Subject: NOPRIV error on "SET MAGTAPE/END_OF_FILE" of foreign tape

We are a relatively new VMS site with a nagging question.  When a user tries to 
issue the command sequence:
	$ mount/foreign/write   hsc0$mua1:   MYTAPE:
	$ convert/fdl=flat80   INPUT.FIL   MYTAPE:
	$ set magtape/end_of_file   MYTAPE:
in response to the "set magtape" command he gets the error:
	%SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV, no privilege for attempted operation
(INPUT.FIL and MYTAPE are capitalized merely to indicate that they are 
arbitrarily selected user names)  We are running VMS 4.7 on our VAX 8800. 
The image SET.EXE is installed with privileges CMKRNL, TMPMBX and SYSPRV.
Should it be installed with other privileges as well, or are we missing 
something else?  The user merely wants to insure that a second tape mark is 
written.  If it's in TFM somewhere, please be gentle and just point me in 
the right direction.  Thanks in advance.
