Have you checked the Unix permissions on the directories along the filepath 
to the mapset directory?  Group or other users (depending on whether the 
people who want to access the mapset are in the same group as the mapset 
owner or not) should have at least "x" access to be able to go "through" a 
directory to directories or files it contains.  As the mapset owner, check 
permissions with an "ls -ld" command on each directory down the path to the 
mapset and if necessary, change its permissions appropriately with a "chmod" 
command.
