Nagios can't connect to Pulseaudio via Festival

[TheCajun]

This is a Fedora10 installation.  Everything worked fine in my Ferdora9
installation.

Here are some facts.
1) Logged in as a normal user, xmms player works.
2) Logged in as a normal user I can send text to festival with correct
speech.
3) As root, cron job works (I have the time being said via festival).
4) As root, via commandline, I get this error;
	Connection failure: Connection refused
5) Log file shows this when nagios has an error to report.

I have added user nagios to these groups.

pulse, pulse-rt, pulse-access

Googling I found this,

http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/426

but there does not seem to be solution posted.

This command returns nothing.
fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp*

I start in runlevel 3, so no Gnome or xwindow processes start.
I have done nothing to modify original configuration of pulseaudio.

Any ideas?
