As far as root not being able to, do you have selinux running?
No, I don't have.
Then I dunno why root didn't, as with selinux disabled root also has implicit rights to all files/folders, but with selinux enabled security context can be setup on a directory hierarchy to only give implict rights to owners.
is user_dir on an NFS share?
By default root will have the least privileged access to NFS shares (nobody.nogroup or nfsnobody.nfsnogroup) unless no_root_squash is specified for the client machine in the server's /etc/exports.
