The file name requested is set in dhcpd.conf and must be the same as the file in
the tftpboot server

My dhcpd.conf says


    host ash {
        hardware ethernet     00:A0:24:E1:EF:01;
        fixed-address         192.168.20.80;
        filename              "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
        option option-128     e4:45:74:68:00:00;
        option option-129     "NIC=3c509";
    }


and 

springnight:/tftpboot/lts # ls -al
total 1400
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Dec 15  2002 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Dec 15  2002 ..

I don't think you need to chmod things.
