If you look at the error message you'll see that it's complaining that you
have no "bin" user on your system.  What O/S are you using?  There is a
configuration option to specify the user to run that script as I recall
(someone correct me if I'm wrong please)  Either that, or you can just
make a bin user.

Cheers,

Tren.
