You're right.  He called back a few minutes ago.  His statement?  "You
asked if I was root and I said yes; I wasn't."  So I spend a few hours
dealing with his mistake.

The problem is described in the phrase "substitute sysadmin", who is
unfamiliar with the whole.  Most likely, the person is trying to access
the files from a Unix account which lacks permission to access them.
Start with that.  Have them show you the details of what they are doing.
