How is the cache directory supposed to be setup?



I've created a cache directory in the default /usr/local/tarsnap-cache location, but I'm getting the "can't sanitize permissions" error message. 

Looking at the tarsnap source, it looks like tarsnap is trying to set the permissions such that only the owner can use this directory. (Right?) Since the user I'm logged in as isn't the owner of this directory, that isn't working for me.

What is the expectation for how the cache directory will be setup? Should I create a cache directory in my home directory and use that instead? But what happens if I want to use tarsnap under a different username later? (For instance from a cron job.) Does each user need it's own cache directory?

Thanks,
