Is Kreports.plx silently failing perhaps? Remember that the user running your CGI prog will be the same user that is running Kreports.plx. Does that user (e.g nobody) have permission to create a file in /home/donfox/BioDataProject/kim/Reports?

Seeing as we don't know what Kreports.plx is actually doing, make sure that it can run successfully on the command line as the same user that runs your CGI prog.

Update: Obviously you will not be able to run Kreports.plx on the command line as user 'nobody' but you should still check to see if user 'nobody' has permission to do all the things Kreports.plx will need to do when generating the reports.
