I am not FreeBSD user, but you probably have some access issues with
your POSIX shared memory file system. On Linux this is implemented
using a tmpfs mounted to /dev/shm. 

You should find out how POSIX shm is implemented on FreeBSD. Most
likely it is implemented as a mountable fs as well.

Diego, maybe you can help Svein?
