The directory (/var/lib/koha/mgskoha/biblios/register/) isn't writeable
by whatever user the zebra indexing process is running as.

I'm going to assume you're using packages for the instructions below:
     1. delete the directories that zebra stores its information in:
             1. sudo rm -rf /var/lib/koha/mgskoha/authorities
             2. sudo rm -rf /var/lib/koha/mgskoha/biblios
     2. recreate them with the right permissions:
             1. sudo koha-create-dirs mgskoha
     3. rebuild zebra:
             1. sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v --full mgskoha
                
Be sure that you get the rm -rf commands totally correct, they can be
dangerous if you typo. 

This situation can happen if you use the non-package commands
incorrectly on a package install. My guess is that someone ran
rebuild_zebra.pl as root at some point, instead of using
koha-rebuild-zebra. This can cause the permissions to get messed up, and
this sort of thing happens. Always use the package commands (koha-*)
with the package installations. If you must do something manually, run:

sudo koha-shell libraryname 

first. This will set up the permissions and such for you, also setting
up the environment to point to your config file so you don't have to do
it yourself.
