I have a program that runs at startup that requires

this might be because its run with root privligies or
for another reason.

If it's running with root privileges, it has access to anything it wants. This is most likely not what's going on. When you say "startup", do you mean system startup, or user login? If it's user login, then it's running with the user's privileges. If it's running at system startup, then it's running with privileges corresponding to the user/group it is assigned to, and that user/group may or may not (it seems not) have access to your user's home directory.
