I think the docbuild failures at ticket #8448 [1] are expected. That is, say you run all doctests under the directory SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage-main, where your Sage installation is a system-wide installation. I would expect that the system-wide installation was performed by a user with more privileges than a normal user. Writing to a directory that you don't have access to is asking for trouble. And the docbuild script is clearly writing to such a directory. So at the moment, I would consider ticket #8448 as invalid. But we'll wait and see how all your doctesting turns out.
