Ahh I see, so "Permission denied" is not in all caps (which would have
looked like a flashrom error message). I bet this is shell complaining
because the script isn't executable. Try running:
chmod a+x cros-flash-replace

before running it an everything should work fine. Maybe it would be
worth mentioning on the installation page.
