Comment 1 2002september@mail.ru 2007-07-06 14:05:17 UTC 
SOLUTION: This problem arises because "Permission denied" error. Incorrect SE
Linux rules in standard targeted policy. Just add allow rule.
Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2007-07-06 15:48:19 UTC 
restorecon -R -v /etc/selinux/targeted

should fix the problem.

This looks like a labeling problem.
