Is /usr/bin/vlc a file or is that a directory?
Just saw your post. It's a file.

Your permissions are fine.
What about your UMS directory and file permissions?

I have modified this as I just read something in your post.

I run UMS as root and no issues.
What are the permissions in /usr/bin and the files within it?

There was a problem with a previous version of UMS where it wasn't picking up mencoder and dcraw in Linux even if those files were in the default Linux paths.

LoadingPriority = 2

UpnpDetailsSearch = R-N500

Did you create the init script. "/etc/init.d/ums"
If so, you should be starting it using that script.
EG:
/etc/init.d/ums start
/etc/init.d/ums stop
/etc/init.d/ums restart
