What are the permissions on the script files?  How do you run them
manually?

Assuming that CGit is definitely reading that `cgitrc` file, I'd guess
that the permissions are not set correctly for the user `cgit` runs as
when called from your web server.

If all else fails, you can try moving CGit out of the way and replacing
it with something like this:

-- >8 --
#!/bin/sh
strace -o /tmp/cgit.strace /path/to/real/cgit "$@"
-- 8< --
