This is true if the user hasn't taken ownership of certain directories and
set the permissions such that only the user has access. For even an
administrator to look at these files, the admin has to take ownership and
set appropriate permissions (unless I missed something somewhere). This, of
course, throws a spanner in the works. Any suggestions?
