The problem is that salt-minion and the salt-master use the same
directory for different purpose. On startup the salt-minion as well as
the salt-master both check the specified directories and adjust the
permissions of these directories. If you run the salt-master as non-root
and the start the minion afterwards the directory permissions will be
changed back to root.
 
As a workaround eiter change the shared directories of
salt-minion/salt-masters or run both under the same user.

cheers,
Ulrich
