/adm/timezone files are owned by the user/group 'adm', so if you want
to modify them you should add the user you're doing this as to that
group.

i believe the issue comes from the instructions assuming that one is
either serving fossil with the "don't check permissions" flag, or has
done a "disk/kfs allow" (remember that command, anybody? :)

having no user who can circumvent the file permissions is a very good
thing, i believe.
