Hmm. I did see mention of SELinux in regards to other permissions errors but everything I was reading seemed to have less to do with configuration file read access and more with creation of sockets, etc and I didnt think about AppArmor. That sounds like a good place to start looking. Thank you for the lead, I will let you know what I find.

Error: setmntent(/etc/mtab) failed: Permission denied .. I just noticed that setmntent error above, I havent seen that anywhere else previously. Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated. This can also only be explained by SELinux/AppArmor.
