Comment(by bevo):

 I have found the cause of this.
 The daemon/package creates this directory (serverX being fqdn of host):
 /var/lib/varnish/serverX/
 It creates this directory as root:root

 When the manager process compiles the vcl into a .so object it places it
 in /var/lib/varnish/serverX/

 This is fine except that it creates the object as root:root, rather than
 the non privileged user that is going to read it.

 This is not normally a problem on alot of systems as you take advantage of
 the default umask which allows other read access to the file.



 in summary:

 The vcl is compiled and not set with appropriate permissions without
 relying on the other chmod flag for read access. this file should be
 created with group or user access set to the unprivileged user/group
