It looks like either your PFTMPDIR environment variable is pointing to
someplace you have no write permission. Or, when you ran as root the app
didn't clean up the temporary files it had created. If that is the case,
when your app now tries to create those temp files, it finds they are
already there, they are owned root, and you don't have permission to
overwrite them.

It is usually better to "setenv PFTMPDIR /tmp" where the /tmp filesystem
has a lot of room available. Then, after running the app, you can "rm
/tmp/pf*" without concern.
