I created the MakeAppWorkDir as root and then chowned it to another user. I have not tested it too much yet but so far the big clue is not to start as root and then try to change to another user.
When webware exits it will write the seesion files to disk under its ID, so when you rerun webware as another user that user cannot modify the session files.
