dumpcap needs sufficient privileges; Wireshark and TShark do *NOT*, and should *NOT* be given extra privileges - to quote
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/doc/README.packaging
"WIRESHARK CONTAINS OVER TWO MILLION LINES OF SOURCE CODE. DO NOT RUN
THEM AS ROOT."
See
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges
for information on how to arrange that dumpcap be able to do what it needs to do; look for the "GNU/Linux distributions, Wireshark is installed using a package manager" and "Other Linux based systems or other installation methods" sections.
