Sounds like a pretty straightforward permissions problem.   What does
"ls -ld /home/kendrick/Imaging-0.3b2/PIL" tell you?

BTW, the preferred way to install PIL is to stick all the library
files in ls /usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/PIL (you have to
create this directory) and then create a file
/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/PIL.pth
which contains the single line "PIL".

See the installation instructions in the file "README" in the
Imaging-0.3b2 distribution.
