The first answer is that this is really dependent on the system you are
on. Every Linux machine that I have used only root can do negative
niceness. There may be OS settings to change this around. SO the lack
of success could be nice just leaving you at 0 since you are not root
while running this (I assume).

Cheers,

Brian
