This is a permission problem of your files. Probably of that socket file you are using, not a problem in the gvm-tools.
You might adjust the permissions of that socket file you are using ... probably at the default path /var/run/gvmd.sock?

[bjoernricks]

This is not a permission error on gvmd side. As @y0urself already mentioned you don't have file system permissions to access the used unix domain socket. Therefore closing here.

run the following command 👍
sudo chmod 662 /var/run/gvmd/gvmd.sock
