If you are running 10.2.?, I would run repair permissions, with disk 
utility.  Located in /applications/utilities.  I would also recommend  
running it from your boot volume, not the install disk.  If you are 
running 10.1.?, apple used to have a repair permissions, utility 
available for download.  Should still be available, but I don't know 
where to tell you to look.

Good Luck
