well, either something is wrong with the way your script is written
(trying to write/read/access somewhere where it has no permission to),
OR does the user/group who executes the script have permission where
the script tries to write/read/access), OR something is wrong in pam
set up (not allowing the script/user to write/read/access somewhere)
because it sounds to me like someone or something is trying to
read/write or access a file/device/log that the script doesn’t have
permission to read/write/touch–every five minutes, and hence the “not
permitted” is logged…
i think you need to try to get the attention of a someone who is
familiar with fetchnews and more conversant in scripting than
me…therefore suggest you post your question to http://forums.opensuse.org/programming-scripting/

The script should not have to run under root. This is a simple permissions issue and should be solved by permissions. We just have to look a little closer.
