Oops...  Looks like I missed a big one last time...  If I read the
above line correctly, the permissions on / are rw-rw----, which is a
Bad Thing.  It denies access to any part of the filesystem to all
users.  (root still works because those restrictions don't apply to
the superuser.)  Try a `chmod 755 /` and see if that helps.
