Consequently root can't reach it.As a result, whenever I run sudo emacs on a file, it throws the error:"Creating directory: Permission denied, /home/rprije/.emacs.d/"in my minibuffer. It fails to load my file and I have to do C-x C-f on the file to open it manually. If it's a temporarily created file, it often loses the file completely and I can't regain it.I'd have expected running with -Q or -q would help but it sadly makes no difference.$ emacs --versionGNU Emacs 23.2.1

Barring unexpected, should be in 24.4.
