Based on this, I'd say nothing's wrong and I can't see why you're
having a problem.  Perhaps we should back up and you should describe
the problems more explicitly.

When you try to back up your programs as "anv", what happens?  What
are the commands you're using and what are the error messages?  When
you're doing something else as anv that you've found you have to
resort to sudo to get it done, what are the real errors as anv?
