[cups.general] cups permission errors

I'm having a problem with getting a permission denied error for the 
socket backend. I try to print a test page, and it shows in the queue as 
stopped.

I'm working with the latest from svn. I had the same problem with the 1.2.7.
Here's what I did:
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/cups
make
make check - all test passed
make install

Then edited the cupsd.conf. Only thing I changed was enabled debug.

As root: /usr/local/cups/sbin/cupsd -f

Then at web interface printed a test page, while tailing error_log

I've attached error_log relevant to the job I sent out, since the actual 
log file was over a few thousand lines.
I've also attached cupsd.conf and printers.conf.

Here is an ls -hal of spool.

root at lc2464:/usr/local/cups/var/spool/cups# ls -hal

drwxrwx--T 2 root lp   4.0K 2007-03-02 10:49 tmp

This is a test machine I setup for troubleshooting. Originally had same 
problems with a print server I was trying to setup the latest cups on.

Thankyou for any help!
