It always works for me without sudo. Unpacking the userdata.tar.bz2 file gives all the files my user and group as owner. I wonder if that's just lucky since I perhaps happen to have the same user id as the packed data.

It happens because the unpacked userdata is not world readable, which causes the following line (from move_contents()) to return an empty list: files = glob.glob(os.path.join(from_, '*')) Which in turn causes the move to fail as there are no files to move to the userdata disk. mv: missing destination file operand after `/tmp/tmpdTw_YS/userdata-disc' Try `mv --help' for more information.
