If it works for root but not for regular users it is likely a permissions 
problem. If vim is creating some sort of expanded/cached version of the help 
files it is probably doing so with read perms for root only.

Make vim create the "live" help files as root then check perms of the files 
and adjust them so all users can read the files.
