The error message tells you exactly which directory is failing and it's 
always the result of an access denied from the filesystem doing a search 
on that directory - it's a very specific error.

The only way to solve it is to find out why the user is being denied 
access to the directory.  The audit logs are the normal way to do this, 
although it should be possible just by looking at the ACLs for the 
directories.

There isn't really any more I can suggest... there must be something on 
your config denying access for those users but if you can't find it I'm 
stumped...
