Now, I do not use selinux here. So there may be an access control issue
with that user-hostility higher seciurity facility in place. (It might also
be "amusing" to see what the size of the bayes files is. I note no bayes
journal file so the directory privileges may not be sufficient that they
can be properly created. (Or you have the journal turned off.)
