"Permission denied" could imply that the rc scripts aren't set to
executable.  Possibly a umask problem?

Additionally, mergemaster isn't a confusing mess.  If anything, it's one
of the most simple tools there is for managing /etc.  The part you
probably find "confusing", which is the same part I did when I started
using it, is the side-by-side interactive diff.  It's very easy to use;
"r" means use the text shown on the right, and "l" means use the text
shown on the left.
