Summary: run arbitron as root if possible

>  non-readable .newsrc files

This problem can be avoided if the sysadmin runs arbitron as root.
In fact, Brian, if you get two sets of results from a site and one
indicates more readership than the other, this could explain it.
(More likely non-searchable home directories, since people wouldn't
be likely to specifically protect their .newsrc's.)
