Yes, you definitely should be able to run it as a non-privileged user. 
I've never run into a case where I *couldn't* run it as a 
non-privileged user... :-\

Hm... Did some permissions somewhere get changed (to root-only rwx, or 
something)?... I'm at a loss on this one. Is your mysql daemon running? 
(/sbin/service mysqld status)

If it works with the tests, it ought to work fine in MythTV, once 
you've successfully completed mythtvsetup. I wouldn't worry about this 
one until you figure out what's up with not being able to run 
mythtvsetup...
