Narrative:
After landing and clear of runway 27R in atl ground control cleared flight to ramp via txwys left and D. When approaching intersection of txwys left and D a B767-300 appeared to be blocking that intersection, so we called ramp for clearance to cut across ramp via 6S and 6E back to taxiway D. On taxiway D we taxied to 6N and re-entered ramp via 6N to gate. At gate ground control called and advised us we had entered taxiway D without clearance and had caused an aircraft to hold short. We observed no conflicts and felt we had expedited a busy and crowded situation.
