Users need to be given read/write permission to the val-tags file.

Maybe init could do something with permissions, but since repository
creation is a fairly infrequent op, and you usually need to go in a mod
things anyway, its not a big deal - but if you think it is, patches are
welcome.

BTW, I remember the days when a sig line was only a 2 or 3 lines long... I
think you now hold the record for the longest one sent to this list.
