Since this is RDO related, I'm going to move this over to the community

SELinux issue perhaps? Whenever I see a permission denied that's always
the first thing I check. Try:
# getenforce

Hm, this seems to indicate that it might not be an SELinux issue, but
still run the above commands just to be sure. Never hurts to check that :)
