You are trying to do a commit while running as root -- the code in
question is only run if the effective UID is 0. When you run pserver as
root, it only runs as root long enough to authenticate the user, then it
switches to the UID of the specified (system) user. It would appear
that you have mapped your user to root instead of a normal user.
