Comment (by rharwood@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:
 > Are you running the selfupdate as user frozencemetery?

 Yes.

 Is frozencemetery a member of the admin group?

 No.  I've never been a member of this group, which is what confuses me.

 > If yes to both, does this work?
 > {{{

 ./testdir/

 > It works for me with my username. Did previous selfupdates work?

 Previous selfupdates have worked.
