Something is using /bin/sh to run another program.  When it does this,
it's doing so with a current directory set to a directory that the
program, given current permissions, can't read.  bash is then complaining.

Chances are that somewhere there's a daemon being started from a directory
that, down the line, some other program running with different permissions
can't read.  It's usually good to always start daemons with a current
directory of / to avoid this sort of problem.
