I assume you've checked that "someuser" owns that file.
Also check that every directory in the path is accessable to that user
in the proper way. If it's NFS-mounted, the underlying mount point
may have to have the correct permissions too (i.e., unmount the volume
and have a look). An easy check is just to su to the "someuser" user
and see if you can access the file in question.
