Are you sure that you defined "LOGIN" (in header.h)
to be the *login* you used to update the program?  From the message you
show above, you defined LOGIN to be "god", not your login (jgsst3).

If you did, then it is possible that something is funky in unix land,
and I suggest removing the block that checks your uid and recompiling:

in main.c remove:
		uid=geteuid();
		if ( uid != (getpwnam(LOGIN))->pw_uid ){
			printf("sorry -- your uid is invalid for updating\n");
			printf("you need to be logged in as %s\n",LOGIN);
			exit(-100); /* boom */
		}
