   That is fine. This is a diagnostic procedure, not a solution. If it runs   
   fine as root, then it definitely is some sort of permissions problems.   
   If it does not, then the problem lies elsewhere and you can forget about   
   trying to see if some permissions are wrong. Diagnosing is a procedure   
   of eliminating things.
