[asterisk-gui] scripts/mastercsvexists needs to run as root?

Q: why is it required to be root to run scripts/mastercsvexists ?

My asterisk doesn't run as root and the asterisk user is able to read &
write to the /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv file. Wouldn't it be
better to check if this file can be read by the asterisk user rather than
checking if asterisk runs as root?

I've commented out the 4 lines checking for root and it works fine on my
box.

with kind regards,
