I run strace like so:

  strace -f -o /tmp/strace-foo <normal-commandline>

The '-f' says follow any forks (if it spawns any children, trace them
too), the '-o /tmp/strace-foo' says redirect the output to the
filename you provide.  

When it finishes, open /tmp/strace-foo with /usr/bin/less and start
hunting around for open() or similar calls that fail.  Probably most
expeditious to start at the bottom and work up.  Strace generates lots
of volume, a tiny fraction of which is very interesting, but your
error is in there somewhere and by judicious guessing, you'll identify
it before long.
