From http://www.epoptes.org/installation:

"""
After the installation you need to add some users to group "epoptes" (or use another group as mentioned in the Configuration section below). These users will be allowed to launch the GUI and control clients:
gpasswd -a username epoptes

Users that are currently logged on need to logoff/logon for the group change to take effect (or use newgrp).
"""

Did you logoff/logon after adding the user to the epoptes group?
Can you attach the output of:
ls -ld /var/run/epoptes
ls -la /var/run/epoptes
as the user that is having the problem, without using sudo at all?
