config history should provide helpful error when it can't create history

Issue Type:	Improvement

Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Josh Soref

Some of the directories in jenkins/config-history/jobs were owned by a user other than the jenkins user, which resulted in this error:

It isn't helpful.

Personally, I'd like to get reports about directories like this as a single line item in the Monitor section leading to a table listing directories w/ improper permissions.
