A little more investigation on my part and I've solved to issue.

The shared memory needed for the Workbench and idl_opserver to communicate
was not available to normal users since the system didn't have /dev/shm
setup in /etc/fstab.

Here is the line I needed to add to /etc/fstab in order to setup shared
memory.

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

I hope this can help anyone else who comes across the issue.

Cheers,

Christopher
