I don't know why your having problems. I run slackware myself and have had
problems with permissions at times. Maybe a file was created by root and others
 can't read it?

When I've had problems I chown the directory along with all the files and
directories within.

chown -R username:group /sbbs

If you run that command as root it'll change the ownership of all the files and
 directories in /sbbs to the user and group you provide.

I hope that'll help.
