Comment 4 for bug 619843

Oh, I get it (from a currently-running instance):

ubuntu@soncoya:/var/lib/eucalyptus/instances/admin$ ls -l ./i-401D07A6
total 519652
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 20702 2010-08-19 17:32 console.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2179989504 2010-08-19 17:32 disk
-rw------- 1 eucalyptus eucalyptus 714696 2010-08-19 17:31 instance-checkpoint
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4475680 2010-08-18 15:32 kernel
-rw-r--r-- 1 eucalyptus eucalyptus 894 2010-08-19 17:31 libvirt.xml
ubuntu@soncoya:/var/lib/eucalyptus/instances/admin$

'console.log is root:root, 660 -- so eucalyptus, *unless* rootwrapped, cannot read it.
