Thanks for your reply! Actually after chatting on the IRC channel with a very helpful person who's nick escapes me I got to the root of the problem.
For some reason 'make install' had touched some of the ion dirs with the oddest set of permissions - something along the lines of 'root root 770'. Very odd. In the end, all I did was run strace and work my way through all the dirs in the paths it was searching manually repairing permissions. Perhaps you should should take a look at your installation as well. If this is a problem that effects more people than just me it might need to be addressed.
