OK, I think I have gotten the message that this is a bad idea as
implemented and that it should be dropped as such. I believe that
there are some things ("btrfs fi show" comes to mind) which will need
root and I am going to explore doing something for that case. And it
also might be reasonable for some situations to issue the message
about root if something errors-out.
Anyway, this approach is dead and I will continue to give this some
thought.
Comments?

This patch hits a lot of files but adds little code. It
could be considered a bugfix, Currently, when one of the
btrfs user-space programs is executed by a regular user,
the result if oftem a number of strange error messages
which do not indicate the real problem. This patch changes
that situation.
A test is performed as to whether the program is running
as root. If it is not, issue an error message and exit.

BTW, I want to thank all of you who commented. I have seen far too many
submitted patches land with a thump and nothing more ... no comments ...
either good or bad.
