Although validation tests are not normally run as root, there may be circumstances when it happens - one known case is when the test suite is run as part of a particular Linux distros package construction. It isn't too hard to avoid the few places where we counted on something failing because of permissions, which don't if the user is root - added a few skips.
This is a test-only change, no impact on SCons or docs.
