Why don't you try re-branching the repository again and start over? Plus buildout instruction needs sudo access as far as I know, so make sure you're doing that.

You shouldn't need root to do a buildout and run the tests. You can probably even build a test deployment without root, but you may need it if you're going to bind to privileged ports, although neither the REST http server, nor LMTP server listen to privileged ports by default. Obviously, you'd need root if you were going to install a deployed system to certain parts of the file system.
