Tor left in broken state on startup

Sep 21 20:05:21.660 [notice] Tor 0.2.1.5-alpha (r16710) opening log file. Sep 21 20:05:21.661 [warn] /var/lib/tor/cached-status is not owned by this user (root, 0) but by username (1001). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user? Sep 21 20:05:21.661 [warn] Couldn't access/create private data directory "/var/lib/tor/cached-status" Sep 21 20:05:21.661 [err] set_options(): Bug: Acting on config options left us in a broken state. Dying.

The directory initially wasnt owned by the correct user and it complained in system.out/err correctly so i could fix it, but i forgot everything under it had the wrong perms too. But when i tried to start it the second time it just failed to launch without anything significant printed out in system.out/err. I had to check the log for the above msg
