Chances are both problems are due to an environment issue.  The Qt error 
is definitely due to an environment problem--the user running the script 
does not have the HOME env var defined, so Qt tries to create a new 
$HOME/.qt directory (which resolves to /.qt), and the user doesn't (and 
shouldn't) have permission to write to the root directory.  So, fix the 
environment to include a HOME directory (even if it's not a "real" user 
home directory, just do an "export HOME=...").
