Are there specific pages which cause this problem?
Some cases of "access denied" have been caused by anti-virus software,
presumably you don't really want to access those. Some are probably
because a script in the page erased the file. Others ... who knows.

The pages are widespread enough that I wouldn't call out a specific
subset. Turning off anti-virus scanning doesn't seem to help.
I'm inclined to think that it is a script issue; and one in which a
script is trying to access a file in the cache or maybe the browser
trying to access a css file in the cache. Emptying the cache forces a
redownload and the page is processed correctly. If this is the case,
what is it that is blocking access to the cached file?

What is blocking access is that Opera doesn't reload pages when you go
Back. If a script can remove a file (which really I'm not certain about,
but it sounds logical to me) then the fact that Opera doesn't reload when
you go back would mean those files still don't exist - but the page may
expect them to exist when you re-execute the script on the page.
I really don't know, as I've never seen such an "Access denied to file"
message - then again I don't show the JS console, and if that's where you
see the message then I simply wouldn't see it.
CGI is server side, it wouldn't make much sense as an Opera problem there.
