If I am not mistaken, /home/bob/.sage/ipython is a folder that should normally be generated once the user "bob" starts sage for the first time. It contains certain data that bob creates in his Sage sessions, both including permanent data that remain even after upgrading Sage, and temporary data that are deleted when Sage is terminated. And apparently you have no write permission in bob's home directory, which is indeed strange -- because either you are bob, hence, shoud have write permission in your home, or you are not bob, and so why would Sage try to write in his home directory on your behalf?
