AbstractEventInspector question

Hi,
I implemented a plugin to inspect event (extends AbstractEventInspector).
The Nexus application is install as 'root' however, we are initiating/starting the process (/nexus/bin/jsw/linux-x86-32/nexus) as another owner. The setup does not seem to work - nexus log does not show the inspected events. If the nexus install and initiation/start is own by same user (root) will work. Is there any way to get around this issue? Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Kelly
