When I run it just as ./service/log_watcher/run it runs fine

Here is the /etc/sv/runsvdir-log_watcher/run file

#!/bin/sh

RUNIT_USER=log_watcher:root:adm

exec 2>&1
exec chpst -u$RUNIT_USER runsvdir /home/log_watcher/service

I've tried a variety of combinations and values for the -u and -U
settings to no avail

The program runs but when it attempts to access the log files it no
longer has permission to do so (just like it was before I added the
missing groups to the log_watcher user).
