If it wasn't clear, I was talking specifically (and only) about the
one test I quoted:

>>> FAIL: testUmask (zdaemon.tests.testzdrun.ZDaemonTests)
>>> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
>>>  File "/usr2/local/buildirs/zope_plone/ZopeX3-3.0.0/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/zdaemon/tests/testzdrun.py",
>>> line 244, in testUmask
>>>    self.assert_(not os.access(path, os.W_OK))
>>>  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/unittest.py", line 278, in failUnless
>>>    if not expr: raise self.failureException, msg
>>> AssertionError

If that failure in testUmask went away, then you accomplished all I
hoped to accomplish by not running as root.
