I did wonder about that but the pidfile is world readable:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6 Sep 11 15:57 /var/run/fuglu.pid
And certainly the process's user can read the file
# sudo -u nobody cat /var/run/fuglu.pid
24013
Which isn't to say that isn't the problem, just that if it is I think I'm even more confused.
