I would have thought your best bet would be to start the script
as root, open the socket and then setuid to the user whose files
you want to scan.

Alternatively add group-read/write permissions to the socket, create
a special group for it and run the script as the user you're scanning
for bu make the script setgid so it can access the socket ...
