Hmm, the plugins should be setuid root.  If they are not, this could
explain the errors you are experiencing.  Could you run, as root, the
initramfs-unpack script (from the source distribution) and check if the
unpacked initramfs files in /tmp/initrd.img*/lib/mandos/plugins.d indeed
are setuid root?
