Could you try to move or delete the qgis.db file now that you have 
ownership of the directory ? Having an empty file does prevent to add 
custom CRS without any error message, I just tried. If QGIS does not 
find the file qgis.db, it will build a new one, but if it does find an 
invalid file, it will silently fail.

BTW, do you know how you obtained an empty file ?
