Rob,
I think I had some troubles and you may need to use the --allow-other
switch. Without using this switch, I had troubles getting other
accounts to read the FS when not logged in as the user OWFS runs under.
I'm running OWFS on Ubuntu, but I'm doing it under the root account
(for better or worse)

In theory, owfs doesn't need root access.
1. The USB or serial port needs to be accessible by the user. This
requires either udev magic (2.6 kernels) or hotplug magic (2.4 kernels).
1a. The DS9490 can't be claimed by the w1 driver -- this may require
root unloading of ds9490r.ko
2. serial ports need to be accessible -- permission on /dev/ttySn
3. loading fuse module for fuse use.
4. owserver can't use a privileged port (<1024), nor can owhttpd use
80 or owftpd use 22
Even if owserver is run as root, you can insulate it from the outside
by binding it only to local addresses and run another accessible
owserver as a "relay"
