On BSD? On my CentOS box, Asterisk runs as root:root. Since AGI's are
separate processes created by Asterisk, they also run as root:root.

Since the AGI is already running as root, why can't it access the SQLite
data file?

Try creating /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/test containing:

#!/bin/bash

        set >/tmp/test

Execute "chmod +x /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/test" so it can be executed.
Cobble up a dialplan to execute "agi(test)."

What does

        ls -l /tmp/test

look like?

Mine looks like:

        -rw-r--r--  1 root root 623 Mar 23 18:51 /tmp/test

What does

        cat /tmp/test

look like?
