The only files that were owned by root were the following:

.hg/dirstate
.hg/store/data/app/views/some_view/__partial__01.rhtml.i
.hg/store/data/public/stylesheets/some_view/partial__01.css.i
.hg/store/undo

Changing ownership of those files did not correct the problem.   
Interestingly, the ..partial.. files only exist in the .hg/store area of  
the repository(?).  I had removed them from the working area of the  
repository before commit'ing that final time.  Should I try removing those  
files from the 'store' or would that make things worse?
