it really sounds like a perms issue to me. If the root of the all the storage bricks aren't writable by said user, a write will fail.

Can you do a simple "touch file1234" on the gluster volume as the non-root user? 

another thing to check, what is selinux set to? (getenforce)

When I try to copy data from vol1 to vol2 as a regular user I get a permission denied error.  When I try to do the copy as root it succeeds.  But, as a non-root user I copy vol1 data to the local disk then copy that local disk to vol2 the copy succeeds.
