It sounds as if you don't have permissions set right in /var/spool/texmf/fonts.
When I execute:
ls -l /var/spool/texmf/fonts/
I get:
total 3
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 1024 Oct 15 17:49 pk/
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 1024 Mar 28 1996 source/
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 1024 Oct 13 19:42 tfm/
so that files and directories I need within pk can be created and owned
by user 'sgk', e.g.,
ls -l /var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk
yields:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sgk 1000 5020 Oct 15 17:49 cmsy7.300pk
-rw-r--r-- 1 sgk 1000 6636 Oct 15 17:49 cmti10.300pk
drwxrwxrwx 2 sgk 1000 1024 Mar 29 1996 deskjet/
drwxrwxrwx 2 sgk 1000 2048 Oct 19 09:23 ljfour/
drwxrwxrwx 2 sgk 1000 1024 Oct 27 17:17 toshiba/
