Not entirely sure myself, but perhaps your cache_effective_user does not have permissions for some strange reason. Looking. Right. Linux denies access to /proc/self/fd/ for processes who have assumed another userid. No easy way around this I am afraid.
On systems where /dev/stdout is a real device node for duplicating the current stdout this problem would not occur. Only on systems like Linux who symlins into a procfs or similar.
