Binary /usr/bin/man is setgid man
Cache dir /var/cache/man is owned by root:root and only 
writeable for root.
So, man can only save preformatted pages viewed by root

Fix:
chgrp -R man /var/cache/man
chmod -R g+w /var/cache/man (or even "chmod -R g+w,u-w /var/cache/man")

To disable saving of preformatted man pages entirely, i 
think it would be better to use the switch in /etc/man.conf.
