Believe it or not, it appears to be related to using a VNC session
versus logging in directly on the console. I can't say for sure yet,
but the VNC logins had been failing and the VMWare console (which is
effectively a local console) worked fine.

That's the thing.. I opened local terminal session and su'd to root,
but on running the app it complained that I was a *privileged* user.

I'll have some time to look at it tonight and hope to resolve soon..
