dumpcap has no permission?

I installed wireshark on x64  via pacman and ran as  root:
dumpcap -i eth0 -w cap
"The file to which the capture would be saved ("cap") could not be opened: Permission denied."

The permissions are 777 also.
dmesg just shows "warning 'dumpcap' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

Re: dumpcap has no permission?

something is wrong it wont let root write to the /home/<some user> directory but it worked in other areas  like /home or /root.
