Unfortunately, I live in a world where my build machine isn't always the same as
the target machine, so I'm not too familiar with this method of invocation.

Regardless, the vast majority of the tests in run_vmtests.sh (as well as the
configuration code in the script itself) require root. So invoking
run_vmtests.sh as anything other than root is a BadIdea (TM). And when
run_vmtests.sh is running as root, then you need the "sudo -u nobody" to
deprivilege this particular test.

Yeah, that's probably the easiest solution; just skip it if the requirements are
not met.
