I believe Apache needs read permissions to the location from
where you are importing. Can you try to put it to,
say, /var/satellite/mine_ks_trees and make sure "apache" user
can read it and SELinux is set with `restorecon
-vR /var/satellite/mine_ks_trees`? Also
`tail /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep AVC` to see any AVCs.

To test if it is related, just turn it off temporarily
(`setenforce 0` and once you are done with testing `setenforce
1` and verify with `getenforce`).
