Group pcp won't help on my system because /var/run/pcp is like this ...

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Jul 17 17:06 /var/run/pcp

Since in real environments pmlogger_daily and pmlogger_check are always 
(?) going to be run from root's crontab, is the real fix to make QA use 
$sudo when running these scripts?  If yes, I'll fix it.  If no, I'm open 
for suggestions.
