No NFS active. SELinux would affect all users/apps as far as I can see.
No messages in secure or messages related to anything that looks
appropriate.

The "something strange about your set-up" was one of my thoughts. AFAIK,
it's a "box stock" setup now. However, in the past, I had beta versions
of the 3.0.x installed locally. There was some local manual manipulation
involved in that. I'll be checking against another login that does not
have that history, as a starting point. Subsequent steps will be based
on the results of that, e.g. compare directories, permissions, etc. I
strongly suspect I'll find something there.

Thanks for the reply. It's appreciated.

I'll get back as work load permits.
