assuming the .esword file is in your home folder this should sort you out:

sudo chown username:username ~/.esword

make sure to replace username with your actual username.  then try 
running esword again and post the results.

locate .esword

will show you where that file actually is if it isn't in your home.

i've run into similar problems with vmware-server and tvtime.  the first 
time i actually ran them i ran them as root.  since i had not become 
root properly (with sudo -i) the config files were created in my home 
but weren't owned by me.  later attempts to run those programs were met 
with mixed results.
