This was a problem with an earlier version, but was fixed (I thought).
I don't remember which files had wrong permissions, but here
are the perms on the relevant files in /var/lib/games/nethack:

-rw-rw-r--   1 root     games           0 May 27 03:02 perm
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     games         217 Jun  4 11:04 record
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     games        1024 Jun  4 11:05 save/

and

drwxrwxr-x   3 root     games        1024 Jun  4 11:05 /var/lib/games/nethack/

I hope this helps.
