+This tool currently only work if you are root, because python scripts can't be setgid.
+.TP
+As a workaround, you can have root create first a blank crontab for you:
+.br
+sudo touch @statedir@/$USER
+.br
+sudo chown $USER @statedir@/$USER

These instructions are incomplete, because /var/spool/cron/crontabs does not
default to letting regular users read or write to it. The directory has to have
its permissions loosened up to let this workaround work.
