This debug output says that you have problems with permissions, it means EZP can't access the /var/cache/..... dir, so if your are using the cache it should not be functioning OK, please try to fix it, after fixing it, please clear all the cache
Everything under var, including itself, should have read/write/execute permission for the web server user and group (may be apache:apache is your using apache)
The other problem in your output, is that EZP can't open the translation file at share/translations, is it there ?, can you checked up ?, the permissions all over the site are ok ?
