You get these errors (sometimes) when suing to a normal user from another normal user, eg: /home/jim has permission 700 (drwx------) and I'm in /home/jim (and I AM jim ;) I do 'su bob', enter the correct password, and I get those messages. Which makes sense, because I don't (and shouldn't) have access to jim's stuff. Rob.
