When we asked you to run as the cache_effective_user we talked about
testing the helper alone manually.

In addition root is allowed to su to any user without password.

Modify your helper to print messages to stderr. In C this is

   fprintf(stder, "...");

in unix Shell it is

   echo "..." >&2

in perl it is

   print STDERR "..."

and similarily on most other languages. Which language have you used when
writing your helper?
