[users at bb.net] Buildbot failing to start

It looks like it was a permissions problem. All my files are owned by the
buildbot user, and when I was testing I was running as my VM's standard
"ubuntu" user. However, the ubuntu user belongs to the buildbot group, and
since the perms are 770 I didn't think there'd be a problem, but when I
changed perms to 777 then twistd suddenly started working. It's a little
frustrating Twisted can't work with tighter permissions and/or report this
error.
