I have checked all permisions for data directory and data files

The error message says parsing failed at a minus sign at line 4 of the access parameters. I can't test this right now so a bit of a guess, but you might try quoting that characterset as "x-IBM949" or 'x-IBM949'. — William Robertson

It seems your CHARACTERSET(x-IBM949) containing - character is not valid

You may try the other alternatives without that sign,

such as AL32UTF8, US7ASCII, WE8MSWIN1252 .. etc.
