Hi Niphlod,

Thanks for the suggestions! When I DEBUG it, I get this error for my task 
function named "run":

DEBUG:web2py.scheduler.ip-172-31-2-63#102815:   work to do 8

And the worker keeps running all the time. 

And I think the permission denied error for multiprocessing is not specific 
for my "run" function. Because when I try to run a simple task with name 
"testtask"

def testtask():
    time.sleep(100)
    return 1


it still give the same error:

Do you know where could be the problem? I've set the owners of all the 
files and folders within /web2py/ folder as "www-data".

When I test DEBUG on the server in original region, it is all fine:

EBUG:web2py.scheduler.ip-20-20-10-190#15277:looping...

Thanks very much!
