You've got something seriously messed up in your OS install.  Try 
running First Aid on it from Disk Utility.  If that doesn't work, I'd 
actually recommend a reinstall - though for this issue itself you could 
just fix the permissions on this one directory.

(Fixing this itself isn't necessarily hard - but if you've got low-level 
issues like this here, I have to worry about what other issues you might 
have.  Oh, and I'd have been really interested in the rest of that line 
on the second - this is enough to show it's wrong, but the rest is 
important info as well.  It's always best to post full output when 
responding to requests for info like this - you don't know what the 
requester is looking for.)
