Greetings,

Paul's example comes from a tarball installation. This is why he has koha as 
user and group. You didn't mention how you installed koha (apt-get install 
koha-common, tarball, git) either.

However, his example does lead to the point that the issue is not just 
directory permissions alone, but also the files in the directory. If one of 
your files has gotten the wrong permissions, a rebuild/reindex won't work, 
because it can't recreate/overwrite that file. And if you recreate it as 
root, then reindexing won't work on a forward basis.

In my /var/lib/koha/library/biblios directory I have 4 subdirectories:
key  register  shadow  tmp
You only showed register in your email. I have a package installation. Your 
path suggests a tarball installation. You only showed one directory. Did you 
check all the subdirectories?

Just some further thoughts.

GPML,
