Most likely explanation is that your home directory, or a path
component in it, is not readable by the user as which the server runs.

Same problem, more severe permissions restriction.  Most likely root's
home directory is locked down completely (this is the default on most
distros AFAIK), so the server's user can't see anything inside it.
