Multiple Users (shudder) can cause all sorts of unexpected problems and
limitations, it seems. It could be that your script is looking for a certain
condition to be met, which is only satisfied when the user is the owner.
Your best bet is to post the actual script here for examination, otherwise
it's rather difficult to make a guess at what's going wrong.

And, forgive my ignorance, but what is an "expect" programme?
