That's because even if you run with root, gnunetd will immediately switch 
permissions to "gnunet" (as configured).  Try something like 

# chown -R gnunet:gnunet /var/lib/GNUnet

(details depending on how you configured things).

I don't think so, but certainly you should read README.debian.

Good idea.  If you need help, there are these days pretty much always a few 
good knowledgable folks on #gnunet on freenode.
