i'm a newbie myself.  but i'll try to help.

first, the group of "gopher" is certainly wrong.  the user of "500"
means that there's no user with a uid of 500.  you probably just want to
change everything to root.root.

about the permission problem.  it happens really early on.  what is the
contents of /etc/dosemu/dosemu.users?
