Well, don't run memcached as root. Are you setting UserName and GroupName in
caldavd.plist? These should be set to some non-root user that can be used for
running the various daemons. See caldavd-apple.plist for an example. You may
need to create a user account for this purpose, though it should be fine to
test it using your personal account.
