Sounds like this user isn't in "debian-tor" group, if you're on Debian.
Note that I'm getting the "rewritten" (last year's GSoC) tor-weather into shape for deployment, and it no longer requires a Tor (using OnionOO instead). This is on "develop" in github.com/meejah/tor-weather and has a Vagrant environment for testing if you're interested in Weather development.
There's some redundant code, and the docs aren't in great shape (yet!) but the vagrant instructions should work.
