I didn't have to worry about where the kernel header files were, but 
then I had compiled my own custom kernel so perhaps everything was where 
VMWare expected it to be.

I run vmware as westk, and here are the permissions on my vmware 
installation directory and all files/dir below:
drwxrwxr-x    6 westk    westk        4096 Mar  4 12:54 vmware

I've installed my virtual machines elsewhere; here's the permissions for 
my WinNT vm:
drwxr-xr-x    3 westk    westk        4096 Apr 10 12:32 VMWareNT

Hopefully this might be of some help.
