Does this:
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "chriskl".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
The database cluster will be initialized with default encoding UNICODE.
creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data ... ok
creating directory /home/chriskl/local/data/global ... ok
....
This should save a lot of support requests, hopefully.
