Last year on March 2, Maarten Sneep had posted two command-line 
instructions for setting permissions right inside texmf.local:

# set directory to read only for group and others
sudo find /path/to/your/texmf.local/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

# set files to read only for group and others
sudo find /path/to/your/texmf.local/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

You might try this here, replacing /path/to/your/texmf.local/ by 
/usr/local/teTeX/. Beware though, I'm not Unix-savvy, it might be 
better to wait for confirmation from a Unix-knowledgeable user before 
sudo'ing that kind of stuff.
