TOR root problems. Tor is not owned by this user.

I'm having some problems installing the Tor browser bundle. As I read on another thread, I've edited the start-tor-browser script so it wouldn't check if the user was root. This worked when I installed TOR, but now that I want to install the browser bundle it doesn't. This is the error I get:

I would be really grateful if someone could help me. Thanks!

Hello.

I think that it could be useful if you use the "chown" command.
Try this:

chown root /root/tor-browser_en-US/Data/Tor

And, just to be sure, check if you have rwx permissions. (7)

you will notice the issue you stated is a warning so actually it will not stop tor working. i used the same method in the script then i opened the properties of the tor-browser_en-US folder using the gui. now go to permissions tab and change the owner to root, make sure you have access for create-delete files then click apply to enclosed files then close. this should remove that warning but you get another one anyway stating "You are running Tor as root. You don't need to and you probably shouldn't."
Also I haven't been able to actually get it working this way so instead im using Valdia and configuring ice weasel to go through it that way.
