Having looked at the problem and patch again, I think it not has to do  
with running SignProgram as superuser, but the opposite. The tar.bz2 is  
unpacked as superuser, then the script switch to normal user and that user  
may not have access to the newly unpacked directory. The solution is to  
move Release_Superuser, to above the if-then-else, so the tar.bz2 is  
unpacked so that the normal user can access and modify the structure.
