There's no error message with exactly that spelling in PG proper,
so it must be coming out of the wrapper script. At a guess, the
wrapper script thinks it should be able to examine the data directory,
but it can't because of restrictive file permissions. Why your
setup is triggering that when it works for other people, I can't say.
