This looks like Interchange may be trying to access the root directory
as it's own. Double check the /etc/passwd file and make sure that the
interchange user (typically interch) is NOT trying to use the /root/
directory as it's home. It would be much better to have as it's home
directory /var/lib/interchange  (on a redhat system installed with
rpm's).
