Comment:

 Thanks for reporting. Similar to #9665.

 Yes, these commands can definitely only be run as user olpc within the
 sugar env, at least until we have some kind of workaround in place (which
 seems unlikely to happen in the absence of a clean/unintrusive way to do
 it). In the mean time, perhaps we should make these commands do basic
 user/env sanity checks, bailing out if run in the wrong environment or as
 root, to avoid confusion such as this. patches accepted :)
