You're on the right track.  What you've done is change ownership of
your session logs to root (expireall should only be run by the user
minivend).

Find what files are not owned by minivend (assuming /home/minivend is
your installation directory):

   find /home/minivend ! -user minivend

If you want to see the ones that have changed in the past day:

   find /home/minivend ! -user minivend -mtime -1

If you want to change the permissions:

   find /home/minivend ! -user minivend -mtime -1 -exec chown minivend.minivend {} \;

The last command isn't always a good idea, but if you're desperate...
