Ok, first of all sorry for this post. I found out what the problem was. 

I read the Install Guide before I posted but I kept getting errors. So for 
those of you who are new to Linux this is what I did.

I logged in as root (putty new session)
[not su, su kept failing for me]
and ran the two commands listed in the links below.

And it worked.
Code:

chown root:zenoss /usr/local/zenoss/bin/zensocket
chmod 04750 /usr/local/zenoss/bin/zensocket
