Check the permissions of /home/cbonnard. This directory has to be
readable by the same user Apache runs as. I belive this is "apache" on
RedHat but you can find out by looking at /etc/passwd.

Executing the following should fix any permissions issues with your home
directory:

chmod +rx /home/chbonnard

Unfortunately, none of this is available from a web/graphical interface.
The tool to create a user is /src/SQL/addOMEuser.pl. For a group it is
/src/SQL/addOMEgroup.pl.

Both of these scripts are in the distribution package you downloaded.
