Thanks for chasing this up Nathan.
I suspect (but cannot prove) that I ran sudo make install and that would
have caused the problem ... we don't (and can't) set the ownership of
files to pcp in the makefiles, but it is done in the package scripts, so
make install is not the same a package install in this respect.
