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?
