Looks like it. Please make sure:
- The program you are trying to trace still exists when you run ustctl
- The program you are trying to trace is linked to libust

Look in /tmp/ust-app-socks if a socket for this pid is created there when you 
start the program. If it's there, run ustctl in strace and send us the output 
near the connect() call so we can see what file it's trying to open.

I doubt this has something to do with permissions, as the error would not 
be "No such file or directory".

You might also want to configure ust with the command

CFLAGS="-DUST_DEBUG" ./configure

in order to enable additional debugging output.
